HIV-1 drug-resistance mutations were detected according to the latest definition of the International AIDS Society-USA panel [10]. For ART-naïve patients, transmitted drug-resistance (shown in bold and underlined) was detected according to the latest definition of the WHO drug-resistance surveillance [11].
