Response from Dr. Little
 It can if the treatment the individual is on is not potent enough or if there is some other cause (such as another drug that the person is taking) which lowers the levels of the HIV drug in the blood stream to levels which are too low to stop viral replication. Both of these can result in drug resistance even if every dose of medication is taken correctly. |
