Abbreviations: 3TC, lamivudine; ART, antiretroviral therapy; CI, confidence interval; EFV, efavirenz; FTC, emtricitabine; HBsAg, hepatitis B virus surface antigen; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; IQR, interquartile range; LPV/r, ritonavir-boosted lopinavir; NNRTI, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; NRTI, nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor; OR, odds ratio; TDF, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; ZDV, zidovudine.

aTwo separate models were generated to examine the effects of genotype; one to compare any drug resistance detected vs wild-type and the other to compare each mutational category (n = 7) to wild-type.

bSamples without genotype (n = 10) did not amplify.

* P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001 by unadjusted logistic regression with Firth bias reduction.
