Depends on genotype: Treatment of HIV depends on the current genotype (plus past genotypes) that provide information about HIV drug resistance. Knowledge about mutations in the reverse transcriptase (rt), protease (pr) genes and sometimes integrase strand transfer inhibitor (insti) resistance help the doctor to determine the best drug regimen. Prior treatment regimens are also taken into consideration.
