Why Proviral DNA Drug Resistance Testing is Useful in Guiding Treatment Decisions for HIV-1 Patients

XTalks

Compared to standard plasma HIV-1 RNA drug resistance profiling, which requires a viral load of at least 500 copies per mL, proviral HIV-1 testing can be performed on samples with much lower virion counts of <50 copies per mL (below the detectable limit in RNA testing).
