Abstract
Most of the information about genetic sequencing and drug susceptibility of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is derived from the study of HIV-1 subtype B. Worldwide, most people infected with HIV-1 are infected with non-subtype B viruses and live in developing countries. We report 3 cases of antiretroviral-naive African immigrants infected with HIV-1 strains possessing the K103N mutation in the reverse transcriptase gene, which confers high-level resistance to all nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
