Factors limiting the transmission of HIV mutations conferring drug resistance: fitness costs and genetic bottlenecks

Transmission of HIV strains with drug-resistance mutations (DRMs) causes public health problems in resource-rich countries. We use a stochastic model, with data from viral competition experiments, to analyze the effect of fitness costs (FCs) and genetic bottlenecks on limiting transmission of 10 cli...
