Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) drug resistance mutation testing has become a useful tool in assessing antiretroviral treatment and managing patient care. As these complex molecular genotyping procedures move into routine use in clinical laboratories, the need arises for quality control procedures that will ensure that drug resistance associated mutations are accurately identified.
Objectives: The AcroMetrix HIV-1 Resistance Proficiency Program was designed to assess proficiency in the identification of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations using molecular genotyping methods.
