title: HIV drug resistance mutations following poor adherence in HIV-infected patient: a case report.
abstract: Acquired HIV drug resistance following poor adherence is common. We report a case of HIV-infected patient with poor CD4 gain and self reported poor adherence. Investigations revealed high viral load and resistance to NRTIs and NNRTIs with sensitivity to boosted PIs. HIVDR mutations create treatment challenges in resource limited settings.
