Approach to the treatment-experienced patient.
The management of treatment-experienced patients is complex and challenging. Fortunately, new agents continue to be developed that offer hope to those who have developed resistance to currently available agents. Knowing when, how, and in whom to use new agents is never easy and highlights the importance of expert care for HIV-infected patients. The management of treatment-experienced patients requires considerable expertise, especially now that patients with highly resistant virus can hope to achieve full virologic suppression.
