There has been tremendous breakthrough in the development of technologies and protocols for counselling, testing, and surveillance of resistant human immunodeficiency virus strains for efficient prognosis and clinical management aimed at improving the quality of life of infected persons. However, we have not arrived at a point where services rendered using these technologies can be made affordable and accessible to resource-limited settings. There are several technologies for monitoring antiretroviral resistance, each with unique merits and demerits. In this study, we review the strengths and limitations of prospective and affordable technologies with emphasis on those that could be used in resource-limited settings.
在用于咨询、检测和监测耐药人类免疫缺陷病毒株以进行有效预后和临床管理的技术及方案的开发方面，已经取得了巨大突破，旨在提高感染者的生活质量。然而，我们尚未达到这样一种程度，即使用这些技术提供的服务能够让资源有限的地区负担得起并可获得。有几种监测抗逆转录病毒耐药性的技术，每种技术都有独特的优缺点。在本研究中，我们回顾了前瞻性且经济实惠的技术的优势和局限性，重点关注那些可在资源有限地区使用的技术。
