 The phenotype test is a very expensive form of resistance testing that is not nearly as useful if you have discontinued your medications for even a few days (since the drug sensitive "wild-type" often comes back rather quickly off drugs). There is a resistance Q and A forum available at this website as well. Resistance tests are used to assess what might be the next good active drug cocktail that could be put together for you.
