Abstract
Background Primary or transmitted HIV-1 drug resistance has caused an alarm in developed countries. While certain HIV-1 subtype C polymorphisms in relation to consensus subtype B sequences are known, there still exists a debate on the validity of these mutations being associated with/mistaken as, primary resistance. In this preliminary study, we have determined polymorphisms in reverse transcriptase (RT) and protease (PR) genes of HIV-1 subtype C from Mumbai, India.
