Resistance formation towards antiretroviral drugs in Eastern Africa
A single point mutation is sufficient to create substantial resistance towards nevirapine.
This resistance development will include resistance towards other drugs of the NNRTI (Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors) class. The aim of this project is to develop and establish more sensitive and cheaper methods for the analysis of NNRTI-mutations
