Abstract Background Access to antiretroviral drugs for HIV-l infection has increased in sub-Saharan Africa SSA during the past few years. Mutations in the HIV-l genome are often associated with treatment failure as indicated by viral replication and elevated levels of virus in the blood. Mutations conferring resistance to antiretroviral drugs are based on comparing gene sequences with corresponding consensus sequences of HIV-l subtype B that .
