Summary

HIV drug resistance is a growing threat. HIV resistance testing helps clinicians identify resistant strains and tailor treatments, especially for patients with treatment failure or acute infections.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Virology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Antiretroviral therapy has significantly improved HIV management.
  • Emerging drug resistance in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) poses a major challenge to treatment efficacy.
  • The potential transmission of drug-resistant HIV strains necessitates proactive management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of HIV resistance testing in clinical practice.
  • To inform clinicians about the indications and limitations of HIV resistance testing.
  • To emphasize the importance of timely resistance testing in managing HIV infection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current clinical guidelines and recommendations for HIV resistance testing.
  • Analysis of the impact of drug resistance on antiretroviral therapy outcomes.
  • Discussion of the clinical utility of genotypic and phenotypic resistance assays.

Main Results:

  • HIV resistance testing is recommended for patients experiencing virologic failure or suboptimal viral load suppression.
  • Testing is also advised for patients with acute HIV infection due to transmission risks.
  • Understanding resistance patterns allows for optimized, individualized antiretroviral treatment regimens.

Conclusions:

  • HIV resistance testing is an essential tool for personalized HIV treatment.
  • Early detection and management of drug resistance are crucial to preserve treatment options.
  • Clinicians must be aware of available testing modalities and their appropriate application in HIV care.
