Response from Dr. Holodniy
 Your doctor is looking for evidence of drug resistance that your virus has developed as a consequence of HIV meds. Or alternatively, if you are newly infected, whether you received a drug resistant strain of virus. Genotyping looks at the genetic code of 2 HIV genes for mutations known to confer HIV drug resistance. MH |
