This Spring 2008 version of the International AIDS Society-USA (IAS-USA) Drug Resistance Mutations Figures updates the figures published in this journal in August/September 2007. The authors comprise the IAS-USA Drug Resistance Mutations Group, an independent, volunteer panel of experts charged with the goal of delivering accurate, unbiased, and evidence-based information on these mutations to HIV clinical practitioners. As for all IAS-USA panels, a rotation procedure is in place whereby 1 or 2 panel members periodically step down from panel participation and new members join. These rotations are designed to ensure that all IAS-USA expert panels remain diverse in member affiliations and areas of expertise.
