adjusted for geographical region, baseline HIV-RNA, intervention arm of START (immediate vs. differed) and year of starting ART
Pure confirmed VF or a single VL>200 copies/mL followed by a ART change
Restricting to those with GSS
≥2; this was done to exclude those who could be detected as participants initiating a suboptimal regimen by Sanger sequence alone
HIVDB v8.6 with >20% threshold
