Authors' objectives: This assessment was undertaken to provide the broadest possible advice regarding the safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of genotypic resistance testing for antiretrovirals in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Authors' recommendations: MSAC found that genotypic resistance testing of antiretrovirals in HIV appeared to be safe and leads to changes in clinical management but there is insufficient evidence on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness to support Medicare funding.
