resistance testing
Laboratory testing to identify which, if any, antiretroviral (ARV) drugs will not be effective against a person's specific strain of HIV. Resistance testing is done using a sample of blood. There are two types of resistance testing: genotypic and phenotypic. Resistance testing is used to guide selection of an HIV regimen when initiating or changing antiretroviral therapy (ART).
