Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the prevalence of antiretroviral drug resistance mutations among treatment-naive HIV-infected individuals in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, a region less influenced by migration compared to larger cities.
- Thirty-eight viral sequences from 42 subjects were analyzed, revealing a 9.5% overall rate of drug resistance mutations, particularly concerning non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
- The findings emphasize the impact of internal migration on spreading HIV mutations and suggest that drug resistance may be imported, warranting further attention as migrant repatriation increases in Mexico.
