Will “widespread, unregulated access to antiretroviral drugs in sub-Saharan Africa, lead to the rapid emergence of drug resistant viral strains, spelling doom for the individual, curtailing future treatment options, and [leading] to transmission of resistant virus?” “Preventing antiretroviral anarchy in sub-Saharan Africa” Harries et al Lancet 2001; 358:410-4.

Why NNRTI Might Have A Different Adherence-Resistance Relationship • NNRTI potent and exert high selective pressure • NNRTI act distant to the active site – little impact on fitness • NNRTI resistance seen with single dose therapy

Level of adherence above which the resistant virus is more fit than the wild-type virus is ~ 2% for efavirenz and nevirapine and ~ 85% for nelfinavir Bangsberg et al. AIDS 2006; 20:223-231
Antiretroviral therapy in AfricaWarren Stevens, Steve Kaye, Tumani Corrah BMJ 2004;328:280-282 [In sub-Saharan Africa]….the potential short term gains from reducingindividual morbidity and mortality may be far outweighed bythe potential for the long term spread of drug resistance…. In Africa, a higher proportionof patients are likely to fall into the category of potentialpoor adherers unless resource intensive adherence programmesare available.
