“There are several combinations, many that include the new protease inhibitors, or antiviral drugs. All can
drive the amount of H.I.V., the AIDS virus, below the levels of detection in the blood for up to 18 months,

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
