Double-method Comparative Study in Order to Predict the Use of Co-receptors From Type 1 HIV: Phenotypic Study (Trofile ESTA®) and Virologic Response to a CCR5 Antagonist in the Short Term

Estudio Comparativo de Dos métodos Para Predecir el Uso de Co-receptores Por el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia 1 (HIV-1): el Ensayo fenotípico (Trofile ESTA®) y la Respuesta virológica a Corto Plazo a un Antagonista de CCR5

The summary of the Study is to compare two methods in order to predict how the 1-HIV will use a co-receptor: the use of an accredited test (TROFILE ESTA®) and the viral response to a CCR5 antagonist in the short term.
