Human immunodeficiency virus infection could be controlled after combination antiretroviral therapy. Drug-resistant strains of HIV-1 emerged soon after antiretroviral therapy was introduced. With the widespread use of combination antiretroviral therapy, the rate of resistance has increased rapidly, especially to and non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (nNRTIs). The antiretroviral therapy principle, antiretoviral drug resistance mechanism, laboratory techinique and trends of drug resistance in Taiwan were reviewed in this report. |
