  1. aViruses were harvested at the designated week of selection, amplified in PHA-stimulated CBMCs and genotyped. Viruses were co-cultured in PHA-stimulated CBMCs to deduce drug susceptibility against dolutegravir (DTG), bictegravir (BIC), cabotegravir (CAB), elvitegravir (EVG) and raltegravir (RAL). Samples in italics represent greater than 5-fold reduction in drug susceptibility
