2/ I first break down testing into 2 broad categories of resistance tests:

To keep the momentum going, let’s move on to transmitted drug resistance. For those just joining, we previously discussed that #HIVDrugResistance is important yet challenging for learners.

2/ We also reviewed the basic principle that HIV resistance develops when HIV replicates in the setting of subtherapeutic drug levels. Virions containing resistance mutations are selected for in this case.
3/ Today we’ll define transmitted drug resistance (TDR) (vs acquired drug resistance). TDR = acquisition of drug-resistant HIV at the time of new HIV infection. We identify TDR when we do a baseline HIV genotype (recommended for all patients who are newly diagnosed with HIV).
