Abstract

One of the major aspects of HIV dynamics is the appearance of resistant viral variants. An increasing number of studies is related to the occurrence of drug resistance in patients receiving different ARV (antiretroviral) therapy regimen.

In Romania the access to ARV’s started in 1995, but HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) could be used only from 1998 on. Taking into account the particularities of AIDS epidemics in Romania (predominance in children,horizontal way of contamination, evolution of more than 13 years of infection and last but not least the subtype F of HIV-1 infection) we studied the profile of resistance in 20 children and 4 adults that received different ARV’s regimens.
