A genotype shows RT K65R and M184V. Which drug is MORE active than against wild-type virus?
Correct.
K65R and M184V both increase susceptibility to zidovudine — they impair the excision (primer-unblocking) mechanism that thymidine-analogue mutations rely on. Both reduce tenofovir and abacavir activity, and M184V abolishes emtricitabine activity.
