Implications of HIV drug resistance on irst- and second-line therapies in resource-limited settings: Report from a workshop organized by the Collaborative HIV and Anti-HIV Drug Resistance Network

Here, we summarize the discussions and conclusions from an expert workshop held in October 2012 to consider the implications of HIV drug resistance in the context of scale-up of access to antiretroviral therapy and prophylaxis in resource-limited settings. Topics considered during the workshop included the implications of drug resistance for the selection of irst-line regimens and sequencing of treatments, optimal surveillance strategies and prevention of mother-to-child transmission. © 2013 International Medical Press 1359-6535 (print) 2040-2058 (online).
