A Comparison of Virco®TYPE HIV-1 Testing Versus Expert Interpretation of Genotypic Results for Control of HIV-1 Replication

January 25, 2010 updated by: Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center

A Randomized Comparison of Virco®TYPE HIV-1 Testing Versus Expert Interpretation of Genotypic Results for Control of HIV-1 Replication

The investigators seek to determine whether Virco®TYPE HIV-1 provides benefits equivalent to those provided by local expert review. The investigators propose that clinic patients of the Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center who are having genotypic testing performed will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to local expert review and to Virco®TYPE HIV-1. Results of either method will be shared with primary HIV care providers. Patient outcomes will be reviewed at a time point equal to or greater than 2 months and 6 months following the change in antiretroviral medications following the testing

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patients having some documented genotypic HIV resistance but having more than one fully active medication will be randomized to either local review or algorithmic review by VircoType HIV-1.
