Objective
Despite the success of antiretroviral drugs, therapy of HIV/AIDS still suffers from severe drawbacks because of undesired consequences of therapy. The major undesired consequence is resistance which renders individual drugs and complete drug classes ineffective. 70-80% of HIV-infected patients undergoing resistance testing carry drug resistant virus and 10% of new transmissions involve resistant or multi-resistant viruses. With the roll out of HIV therapy in developing countries, drug resistance will become a worldwide problem, while resistance development in non-subtype B strains of HIV (dominant in developing countries) is largely inferred from results obtained with subtype B viruses. Protease inhibitors (PI) have been a key factor in the success of HIV therapy, but as with all clinically used drugs resistance has been observed.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
