Abstract
Resistance is a major challenge in HIV treatment. Resistance decreases the ability of HIV drugs to control the virus and reduces your treatment options. The best way to prevent resistance is to stick closely (adhere) to your HIV drug regimen. With good adherence [2], resistance is less likely to develop. This gives your current drugs the best chance of working and will keep more treatment options open to you in the future.
