Abstract
General consensus suggests that even singleton E138A mutations in HIV reverse transcriptase at baseline are associated with resistance to rilpivirine (RPV). We detected 11 pre-existing E138A carriers treated with RPV in the pan European EuResist database. However, all 11 patients presented with full virological efficacy for first-line RPV-based ART regimens.
