The frequency of defective genes in vifand vprgenes in 20 hemophiliacs is associated with Korean Red Ginseng and highly active antiretroviral therapy: the impact of lethal mutations in vifand vprgenes on HIV-1 evolution

We have reported that internal deletions in the nef, gag, and polgenes in HIV-1–infected patients are induced in those treated with Korean Red Ginseng (KRG). KRG delays the development of resistance mutations to antiretroviral drugs.
