Abstract

Drug resistance testing is recommended for the management of patients with HIV-1 infection. Celera ViroSeq™ HIV-1 Genotyping System is the most widely used genotypic HIV drug resistance testing. The assay produces 1,302 nucleotide sequences comprising codons 1–99 of the protease gene and 1–335 of the reverse transcriptase gene. Genotyping result is linked to an interpretive algorithm, for example, Virco® TYPE HIV-1 to generate drug resistance profile.
