It has long been thought that genotypic resistance tests were ineffective at detecting resistance when a patient's viral load was below 1,000. However, researchers from Chelsea & Westminster Hospital in London
have found evidence that genotypic resistance tests can successfully detect resistance in patients with persistent, low-level viremia. In a research letter published in the March 21 issue of
AIDS, Laura Waters and colleagues found that patients with a single viral load measurement as low as 200-- or with repeated measurements as low as 50-- can benefit from genotypic resistance testing.
