Worldwide estimates of 3-30% virologic failure within one year of first ART (500K – 5M)*
40-95% individuals VF have > 1 major resistance mutation
1.2-25.5% of individuals on ART will have drug resistance within one year (200K – 4.3M)*
Over time triple class failure will accumulate

Before starting
While on treatment
Can we prevent these patients from experiencing virologic failure?
