| Response from Dr. Young
 It's generally unlikely for drug resistance to persist in persons who were initially infected with drug sensitive virus, but there are ample cases of persons who harbor drug resistant virus who have never taken medications and persons who (because of inadequate adherence) generated their own drug resistant virus who have persistence of the resistance long after the medications were discontinued.
