Acquired Hiv Drug Resistance
Acquired HIV drug resistance is an emergent problem in HIV prevention and treatment. It occurs when HIV strains become resistant to antiretroviral drugs, compromising treatment by preventing the drugs from suppressing replication of the virus. Acquired drug resistance occurs when someone is treated with drugs that are not powerful enough or when they do not take the drugs correctly. It is important to recognize and monitor instances of acquired HIV drug resistance, as the emergence of drug resistant strains can present a hurdle to HIV treatment internationally. Through early detection and improved treatment regimens, acquired HIV drug resistance can be minimized and the infection’s spread can be better managed.
