- News on HIV Drug Resistance in New Antiretrovirals From the XVI International HIV Drug Resistance Workshop (July 24, 2007)
With every new medication it's critical to understand which mutations are predictive of a less than optimal response. In this report on Doug Richman's review from the XVI International HIV Drug Resistance Workshop, Mark Holodniy, M.D., discusses genotypic and phenotypic assays associated with R5 inhibitors and HIV drug resistance associated with the following antiretrovirals in development: etravirine, raltegravir, elvitegravir and maraviroc.
