Hidden Dangers
It is important to remember that the emergence of drug-resistant HIV is a dynamic process and that different viral strains, with different sensitivities to anti-HIV drugs, can co-exist in an infected person. Drug-resistant strains may persist even if drug treatment is stopped^13-15. It seems likely that such mutants could replicate as fast as the original wild-type strain.
