Due to the nature of HIV, many drug-resistant variants occur. Every time a new patient is infected with HIV, there is a chance that a new HIV protease mutation will arise. It is important that society and scientists remain vigilant in the fight against HIV. Research concludes, “Resistance to PR inhibitors arises primarily by mutations in PR, although other mutations also occur in its Gag and Gag-Pol substrates [69]. Major mutations associated with resistance are often deleterious for viral replication [70]; however, viral fitness can be restored by additional, compensatory mutations” (Weber et. al, 2021). | |||
