Hi Joel . Any thought an ART naïve patient who's genotype has not performed because of inablilty to amplify material on Genosureprime test. Its been repeated twice with same result. Is is worth trying a different lab or just treating? CD4 650 VL 40k

There’s no longer a reason to wait for resistance test results before starting therapy. U.S. guidelines say that as long as you use an integrase inhibitor or protease inhibitor (rather than an NNRTI), you can start ART while waiting for the genotype results. This is one reason we can now consider “rapid starts,” sometimes on the day of diagnosis.

It might make sense to order a genotype using a different lab  prior to starting therapy. If the other lab can’t give you a result either, you have the option of ordering a GenoSure Achive after the viral load is suppressed.
