Popis: Retrospective studies have shown that the presence of human immunodeficienc virus type 1 (HIV-1) drug resistance before the start of a new antiretroviral (ARV) regimen is an independent predictor of the virologic response (VR) to that regimen [1]. Prospective controlled studies have shown that patients whose physicians have access to drug-resistance data respond better to therapy than those whose physicians do not [2–5]. The accumulation of such retrospective and prospective data has led to the routine use of genotypic resistance testing in the management of HIV-1–infected patients [6–8]. However, interpreting the results of HIV-1 genotypic drug-resistance tests is one of the most diffi ult challenges facing clinicians who care for HIV-1–infected patients. First, there are many mutations associated with drug resistance [9]. Second, there are synergistic and antagonistic interactions among these drug-resistance mutations [10]. Third, some mutations may not reduce susceptibility by themselves but may compensate for the effect of other mutations [11] or may be sentinel indicators of emerging drug resistance. As a result, several different algorithms have been developed for interpreting HIV-1 genotypic drug-resistance test results. Several studies have compared the predictive ability of different genotypic drug-resistance algorithms using retrospective clinical data sets [12–17]. In the present study, we evaluate the predictive value of 4 genotypic drug-resistance test interpretation algorithms in a patient population undergoing a wide range of salvage ARV therapy.
