Case 1: First Line Virologic Failure 31 yo woman s/p bilateral tubal ligation began [fdc ZDV/3TC] + EFV 36 months ago Initial CD4 = 162; VL = 56,000 After starting HIV therapy, CD4 increased to 365 and VL fell to 340 and then to < 50 c/mL Difficulty taking medication over the past 2 months due to relapse of substance abuse Now returns with weight loss and thrush
What is your next step? 1. Obtain HIV RNA, CD4, continue therapy and have her return within a month 2. Obtain HIV RNA, CD4, stop therapy and have her return within a month 3. Obtain a resistance test 4. Choice 1 and 3 5. Choice 2 and 3

Highly Treatment Experienced Patients
Highly Treatment Experienced 48 yo white man HIV + since 1991 (CD4 180) Received ZDV from 1994 to 1996, added 3TC then indinavir VL on this regimen was initially BDL and CD4 rose to 300 cells over two years. VL rose to 5,600 then 10,100, CD4 was 390. In 2000 treatment was interrupted VL peaked at 386,000 and CD4 fell to 220
Case: Multi-drug Resistance Over several years he was on a series of regimens: EFV, SQV/RTV, d4T Abacavir, ddI, LPV/r TDF, FTC, LPV/r plus SQV HIV RNA rebound was eventually observed on each regimen He feels well and has had no AIDS defining illness. His current CD4 is 310 and his VL repeated several times is between 10,000 and 15,000 on therapy
Case: Multi-drug Resistance Given long treatment history with only intermittent suppression of HIV RNA to BDL you order a genotype This is the test available to you RT mutations include: 41L, 74V, 118I, 184V, 215Y and 219Q Protease mutations include: 10V, 20R, 33F, 46L,54V, 82A, 84V and 90M
Case: Multi-drug Resistance What will you do at this point? 1. Change to > 1 NRTI, tipranavir/r and enfuvirtide 2. Change to > 1 NRTI, darunavir/r and enfuvirtide 3. Interrupt therapy and after 6 months begin > 1 NRTI, darunavir/r and enfuvirtide 4. Continue current therapy 5. Holding regimen

Multi-Drug Resistance This case illustrates several points to consider when making the difficult decision of when to switch This patient is in no clinical danger. His CD4 cell count is above 300 His viral load is over 1 log 10 lower than a peak off therapy. He has had no AIDS defining illness and feels well On the other hand his current therapy is not optimal with sustained viral replication Continued current therapy may lead to CD4 cell decline and further accumulation of resistance mutations
Case: Multi-drug Resistance There is no clinical urgency; what are treatment options? He is naïve to T-20 therefore likely very active initially −T-20 low barrier to resistance; incomplete suppression leads to rapid resistance evolution He has no NNRTI mutations −By history he had previous viral rebound while on EFV −NNRTI may add modest activity, −NRTI will likely have modest ADDITIONAL activity There are substantial PI mutations limiting PI options −He has 5 TPV-associated mutations decreasing the likelihood of a sustained response −He has 3 DRV mutations which will impact activity
Should He Wait for New Agents? How quickly will new mutations evolve?
