NRTI, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; NNRTI, non-NRTI; VL, virus load (copies/mL); TB, tuberculosis; DRM, drug resistance mutations; Line 1a, Efavirenz (EFV) + Lamivudine (3TC) + Stavudine (d4T); Line 1b, Nevirapine (NVP) + 3TC + d4T; Colors for predicted phenotypic resistance were: White if susceptible (S) or potentially-low (PL); Light gray if low (L) or intermediate (I) and dark gray if highly (H) resistant.
