HIV Resistance Database

The HIV Resistance Database is a specialized online resource that collects and shares information about how HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, can change (mutate) to become resistant to certain medications. This helps doctors and researchers understand which drugs are likely to be effective for different patients based on the virus's genetic makeup. By analyzing these resistance patterns, treatment plans can be better tailored, improving the chances of successfully managing the infection and preventing treatment failure. Essentially, it’s a tool that supports personalized HIV care through ongoing research and data sharing.
