A multi‐drug‐resistant, non‐compliant HIV‐1 patient was treated successfully with a combination of the drugs darunavir and etravirine for more than 8 months. The patient experienced an immunoreconstitution syndrome due to improved compliance. Examining previous resistance tests for this type of patient is valuable when assigning new medication. J. Med.
