one drug or class? Jul 22, 2007 when it is stated that 10 to 15% of new hiv cases will have a resistant strain, does that mean resistant to an entire class of drugs or one drug in a class? Am I correct that there is three classes of drugs and for treatment, all three drug classes are used.? |

 Thanks for your post. First off, there are 4 (soon to be 5 or 6) classes of HIV medications. Fortunately, most of the cases of transmitted drug resistance involve only a single class of medications, much less commonly do we find evidence of two or more class resistance. BY | ||||||||
