HIV-1 integrase inhibitor resistance among treatment naïve patients in the West of Scotland.

Background: Transmitted integrase inhibitor resistance is rare, with only a small number of cases reported world-wide to date.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess whether transmitted integrase inhibitor resistance has occurred in Scotland and if so, could there be a case for performing genotypic integrase resistance testing at baseline.

Study Design: The study population consisted of 106 treatment naïve, newly diagnosed, HIV positive patients.
