title: Use of novel antiretroviral agents in rescue regimens: a case of early virological failure to raltegravir.
abstract: In patients with virological failure during highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and drug resistance, guidelines recommend the achievement of maximal virological suppression by the use of a new regimen with at least 2 active drugs. We describe the clinical outcome of a heavily antiretroviral-experienced patient who experienced early failure to raltegravir.
