Transmission of Multi-Drug Resistant HIV-1 Despite Antiretroviral Prophylaxis.
In Brazil, a nurse recently became infected with HIV-1 despite beginning antiretroviral therapy within one hour following accidental needle stick injury while puncturing the forearm of an HIV-infected patient with detectable plasma viremia. Thereafter, the patient's virus was found to harbor multiple drug resistance mutations.
