Abstract

The efficacy of various antiretroviral (ARV) therapy regimens for human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) infection remains unclear. HIV-2 is intrinsically resistant to the nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors and to enfuvirtide and may also be less susceptible than HIV-1 to some protease inhibitors (PIs). However, the mutations in HIV-2 that confer ARV resistance are not well characterized.

Supplemental Figures

Analysis of polymorphic amino acids sites in RT and PR was performed using InSites. HIV-2 RT and PR consensus, HIV-2 ROD, and patients are shown. Polymorphic amino acid sites, their protein position, and their respective changes from the consensus are shown in columns. Unique (private) changes are shown in the right hand column.
