Abstract
Among 66 antiretroviral-naive children aged <3 years with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or coinfected with HIV and tuberculosis and initiating efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy (ART), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) resistance was detected before ART in 5 (7.6%). Virologic failure occurred in 2 of these children; they were last tested at 16 and 24 weeks of ART. Pre-ART NNRTI resistance was not associated with virologic failure.
