Prevalence of drug-resistance mutations and non-subtype B strains among HIV-infected infants from New York State
Article Abstract:
The prevalence of drug-resistant and non-subtype B strains of HIV in perinatally infected infants diagnosed in New York State in 2001 and 2002 is determined and the association between perinatal antiretroviral (ARV) exposure and drug resistance in this population is investigated. The results have shown the value of resistance testing for all HIV-infected infants upon diagnosis and the need to consider subtype diversity in diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Antiviral activity, pharmacokinetics, and dose response of the HIV-1 integrase inhibitor GS-9137 (JTK-303) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to establish that GS-9137 is a potent low nano-molar strand transfer inhibitor of HIV-1 integrase, evaluating its antiviral activity, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled monotherapy study in 40 HIV-1-infected patients. The results showed that GS-9137 demonstrated substantial short-term antiviral activity and was well tolerated as monotherapy, warranting further study.
