All current antiretroviral drugs, including newer classes, are at risk of becoming partly or fully inactive because of the emergence of drug-resistant virus strains. If not prevented, HIV drug resistance can jeopardize the efficacy of antiretroviral HIV drug resistance is caused by changes in the genetic structure of HIV that affect the ability of drugs to block the replication of the virus.
