HIV & Hepatitis Living with HIV Resistance Testing | Resistance Testing |
| Resistance testing is now performed fairly routinely. Resistance testing shows whether or not a given drug is effective against your HIV Virus. It may tell you whether you have been infected with a drug-resistant strain of HIV, and also if you are resistant to drugs you are currently taking, or have taken in the past and then initially start to benefit from these medications. Resistance is the ability of HIV to overcome the effects of anti-HIV medication. The best way to avoid drug resistance developing is to make sure that you never miss any of your tablets. | |
