TL;DR

Bell-shaped relationships between adherence and resistance were observed, and the risk of detectable HIV-1 RNA loads or of PI or lamivudine resistance was significantly higher in nelfinavir- treated patients than in lopinavir/ritonavir-treated patients.

Abstract

Bell-shaped relationships between adherence and resistance were observed. Irrespective of adherence level, the risk of detectable HIV-1 RNA loads or of PI or lamivudine resistance was significantly higher in nelfinavir-treated patients than in lopinavir/ritonavir-treated patients.
