What is the link between HIV mutation and drug resistant HIV?

Does HIV mutate when drug regimens are not followed, thus creating drug resistance?

HIV is a retrovirus which replicates rapidly.
each time it does so, theres a chance for genetic mutation.
the mutation can make the virus become resistant to the drugs.
this can also happen when people dont follow instructions and take their medications as prescribed.

Question #1: Resistance can be a result of mutation.

Question #2: It can. Viruses can change genetically when they develop resistance and this resistance is a mutation of the original virus.

Them African Monkeys and queers mutate the drug to be more resistant I tell you what!

Yes it does
