HIV genotypic resistance testing to optimize antiretroviral prescribing: is there room for improvement?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hepatitis C virus genotype 1B responds poorly to treatment with interferon, in contrast to the more interferon-sensitive genotypes 2 and 3. Studies on combination therapy regimens with PEG-interferon and ribavirin report sustained response rates that generally do not exceed 50%, in contrast to sustained resp...
