Abstract excerpt
The genotypic inhibitory quotient (GIQ) is the ratio between drug concentration and the number of resistance mutations. However, as different resistance scores can be calculated for the same protease inhibitor, the ability of a GIQ to predict the virological outcome may vary depending on the resistance score used as the denominator. Forty-four highly treatment-experienced HIV-infected patients failing on their...
