>Once you've got your primer designed, try:
FINDPATTERN /mismatch=3
That, on the VAX version of GCG will list all the matches in your target
sequence, in your case HIV, with mismatches up to and including 3.
With a 20+mer pcr primer, and a resonable annealing temperature, not
much product should be seen from >3 mismatches.
