HIV-1 Subtype Diversity and Prevalence of Primary Drug Resistance in a Single-Center Pediatric Cohort in Germany.

Objectives: Data on drug-resistant mutations (DRMs) in HIV-1-infected therapy-naïve children are scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the HIV-1 subtype distribution and the prevalence of DRMs in therapy-naïve HIV-1-infected children who received routine care at the University Hospital Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany.

Methods: Records of all HIV-1-infected children who received routine care between January 2005 and December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.
