Table 2 Comparison of results (group A and group B).

From: The L76V mutation in HIV-1 protease is potentially associated with hypersusceptibility to protease inhibitors Atazanavir and Saquinavir: is there a clinical advantage?

  1. Comparison of results (group A and group B). Median viral loads and the therapy success rates illustrate a significantly better long-term suppression of HIV when SQV/ATV plus optimized backbone therapy is combined with a L76V-selecting drug. In bivariate analysis, these results were independent from slightly different baseline viral loads ( < 0,5log) between group A and B.
