The aim of this study was to compare the extent of resistance to antiretroviral (ARV) drugs among the population in Mexico before and after 2005. The mutations and drug resistance database of Stanford University were used for analyzing drug resistance tests that had been performed on HIV treatment-naive patients. The sequences obtained were divided into group 1 (isolated in 2002-2003) and group 2 (isolated in 2010-2014). Both groups showed 14% similarity in resistance mutations. In both groups, mutations in N88D protease inhibitor were identified, D67N and T69D were found for nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and K103N was found for non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. In both groups, the resistance to ARV drugs was 7.4%. Both groups showed resistance to nelfinavir, efavirenz, and nevirapine. The prevalence of resistance to ARV therapy remained stable from 2002 to 2014. However, a marked reduction in resistance to NRTIs was observed for the same period.
