3 Reasons To Be Tested For HIV Drug Resistance
You've been newly diagnosed as HIV-positive and plan to start antiviral therapy soon. A resistance test will tell you if your virus is already resistant to some drugs before you start.
You've previously taken antiviral drugs for HIV, but have been off treatment for some time. A resistance test will tell you if any drug-resistant viruses from your previous therapy still exist in your blood.
You're taking antiviral drugs to treat HIV right now, but your latest viral load test showed a significant increase from your last test. A resistance test will tell you if your virus has become resistant to the drugs you are taking now and will suggest new drugs to switch to.
