Indicaciones precisas para genotipificación y/o fenotipificación (Indications for Genotypic and/or Phenotypic Analysis of VIH)

These random mutations are the basis of therapy failure, regardless of the factors initially leading to failure – non-adherence, poor absorption, inadequate potency of the regimen and so forth. The technology to monitor and identify resistance has become available for clinicians during the past four years and is rapidly becoming an indispensable tool in the management of antiretroviral therapy.
