he darunavir genotypic inhibitory quotient (gIQ) has been suggested as one of the predictors of virological response to darunavir-containing salvage regimens. Nevertheless, which resistance algorithm should be used to optimize the calculation of gIQ is still debated. The aim of our study was to compare seven different free-access resistance algorithms and their derived gIQs as predictors of 48 week virological response to darunavir-based salvage therapy in the clinical setting.
