Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a significant infection that attacks immune system cells and integrates its genetic material into host cells. Left untreated, it leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used to control HIV infection. Etravirine (ETR) is an important non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) utilized in the treatment of HIV. Low-level viremia (LLW) is a serious clinical condition, and the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. The aim of our study is to analyze and elucidate the resistance status of Lys104Gln, Lys102Gln, Lys101Arg-Lys104Arg, Ser191Phe, Ile94Leu-Lys104Arg, Lys104Glu-His235Leu, Ala98Ser and Val179Ile mutations using in-silico methods, which are identified as low-level viremic strains, because their resistance status to ETR is unknown.
