## Abstract The most common first‐line, highly active anti‐retroviral therapy (HAART) received by individuals infected with HIV‐1 in Cameroon is the combination therapy Triomune, comprised of two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) and one non‐NRTI (NNRTI). To examine the efficacy of

Abstract
Recent studies have highlighted the need of investigating the in vivo role of ribonuclease H (RNase H) in nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) resistance. The prevalence of RNase H mutations in naive and in NRTI pre‐treated patients in regimen failure were compared and some specific associations between NRTI resistance mutations and RNase H mutations were determined. Four positions were mutated more frequently in pre‐treated patients than in naive patients: L469T/I/M/H, T470P/S/E/K, A554T/L/K, and K558R/G/E. Mutations at position K558 were also associated with the number of thymidine analog mutations (TAMs). These results suggest that these mutations could play a role in NRTI resistance. J. Med.

## Abstract The objective of the study was to determine retrospectively which substitutions in the reverse transcriptase (RT) gene are selected in vivo during nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTI) containing regimen in HIV‐2 infected subjects. Thirty‐four HIV‐2 patients having received NRTI‐containing re
