Transmitted drug resistance (TDR) is an important public health issue, because it may affect the outcome of antiretroviral treatment. The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with TDR mutations defined according to the list of the World Health Organization was investigated among 53 therapy-naïve persons with confirmed recent HIV-1 infection diagnosed in Poland, in the years 2008-2010. Proviral DNA was amplified, sequenced, and screened for the TDR mutations in the pol gene fragments coding for the whole protease and the initial 256 residues of the reverse transcriptase. The frequency of sequences with at least one TDR mutation was 11.3%. In four (7.5%) sequences at least one resistance mutation related to reverse transcriptase inhibitors was identified, and in further two (3.8%) sequences one mutation related to protease inhibitors' resistance was present. The moderate rate of TDR highlights the need for a continuous surveillance and resistance testing among treatment-naïve individuals to optimize treatment effects within a country.

The high genetic variability of HIV-1 and the emergence of transmitted drug resistance (TDR) can impact treatment efficacy. In this study, we investigated the prevalent HIV-1 genotypes and drug-resistance-associated mutations in drug-naïve HIV-1 individuals in Cabo Verde. The study, conducted between 2018 and 2019, included drug-naïve HIV-1 individuals from the São Vicente, Boa Vista, Fogo, and Santiago islands.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze HIV-1 subtype distribution, transmitted drug resistance (TDR) status, and factors influencing TDR in treatment-naive AIDS patients hospitalized in Chengdu from 2020 to 2022.
- Blood samples were collected from 213 patients, revealing that 83.10% had successfully amplified HIV-1 subtypes, with CRF07_BC (43.50%) and CRF01_AE (37.85%) being the most prevalent.
- Significant differences in subtype distribution were found among different age groups, particularly for CRF01_AE and unique recombinant forms (URFs), with TDR incidences at 6.49% and 8.96% in varying patient demographics

Background: Transmitted drug resistance (TDR) increases the risk of antiretroviral therapy (ART) failure in HIV-1 patients. This study investigated the molecular epidemiology of TDR and its transmission networks among newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients in Wenzhou, China.
Methods: We enrolled 1878 ART-naive HIV-1 patients from January 2020 to October 2023.

Article Synopsis
- Soil dielectric sensors are essential for measuring real-time soil moisture, but their accuracy is affected by soluble salts in the soil.
- A study tested eight popular sensors across various salinity levels, finding that most overestimated soil moisture, particularly at higher salinities, while the EC-5 sensor remained accurate.
- The results suggest that for soil salinity levels greater than 1.0 dS·m, calibrated sensors like TDR series and EC-5 are the best options to ensure accurate soil moisture readings.

Background And Objectives: Data on HIV drug resistance in Madagascar are rare and outdated. In this study, we assessed the prevalence of HIV drug resistance mutations to antiretrovirals (ARVs) and genetic diversity of circulating strains in treatment-naive people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Madagascar.
Materials And Methods: We amplified the protease (PR), fragments of the Reverse Transcriptase (RT) and Integrase (IN) genes according to the French ANRS protocol.
