ARV Selection Tool

Enter the patient's HIV mutations here, either with or without the mutated amino acid but using uppercase (eg, M184V or 184V). Separate mutations with commas. Example: 184V, 65R
Options for patients with poor adherence.
Select the patient's comorbidities or side effects from current ARV medications, or if the patient is pregnant.
Select the patient's current medications.

Having TB does not inherently change the choice of ARV's. However, HIV-ASSIST results vary depending on the anti-tuberculosis regimen selected due to drug-drug interactions (e.g. depending on the rifamycin). For the most robust results, please run the tool separately for each potential anti-tuberculosis regimen and enter the regimen in the "Co-medications" input. Of note, isoniazid, pyrizanimide, and ethambutol have minimal interactions, as do most drugs in MDR-TB regimens, and as such are not included in the "Co-medications" list.

Select the patient's HIV viral load (if known).
Select the patient's CD4 cell count (if known).
Select the patient's HLA-B5701 status (if known).
Select the patient's HIV tropism (if known).
Enter the patient's previous ART medications on which the patient had detectable viremia (i.e., failing regimen). Do not include the current regimen (if any).
Enter the patient's current ART regimen (if any).
Exclude any regimens that include the above ART medications from the results. ARVs that are in the current regimen will not be excluded.
Please select the ART regimen you are considering for this patient (for study purposes). You will be asked to choose your preferred ART regimen for this patient after seeing the HIV-ASSIST results as well.
