The early recognition of resistance to antiretroviral agents could allow a rapid switch in therapy and therefore avoid the accumulation of mutations and reduce the risk of cross-resistance. However, the efficiency of genotypic tests in specimens with low viral load (VL) is severely compromised since human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA in these samples often goes unrecognized. The frequency of results provided...
