HIV-1 Transmitted Drug Resistance Mutations in Newly Diagnosed Antiretroviral-Naive Patients in Turkey.

HIV-1 replication is rapid and highly error-prone. Transmission of a drug-resistant HIV-1 strain is possible and occurs within the HIV-1-infected population. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRMs) in 1,306 newly diagnosed untreated HIV-1-infected patients from 21 cities across six regions of Turkey between 2010 and 2015.

Outcomes of initial antiretroviral treatment (ART) among recently diagnosed HIV patients in HIV-TR cohort, 2011-2012.

Introduction: HIV-TR is a recently established (2012) multicentre cohort in Turkey. The aim of this study is to analyze epidemiological, immunologic and virologic data of recently diagnosed HIV patients.

Materials And Methods: Epidemiologic, clinical and laboratory data of all patients diagnosed in 2011 and 2012 were recorded by a web-based data collection system, retrospectively.
