PI = protease inhibitor, NNRTI = non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, NRTI = nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, TAMs = thymidine-analogue mutations

a

9 samples could not be amplified, 28 no stored sample available

b

No children developed high-level resistance to lopinavir, tipranavir, fosamprenavir or darunavir.

c

Since M184V/I mutation alone confers high-level resistance to lamivudine and emtricabine, this can be interpreted as the number of children acquiring M184V/I.

Note: 6 children developed the L74V mutation (3 PI-1000, 1 PI-30000, 2 NNRTI-30000) and 2 children developed the K65R mutation (1 PI-1000, 1 NNRTI-1000).

Note: Analysis assumed children not expected to have tests did not develop mutations and excluded children with missing tests.

Pair-wise comparisons between PI-1000 and NNRTI-1000: rate-ratio=0.70, 95%CI[0.38,1.32]; p=0.27; PI-30000 and NNRTI-30000: rate-ratio=2.52, 95%CI[1.41,4.49]; p=0.002
