Patients who bypass medical institutions to obtain drugs to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections often take the medications irregularly or self-interrupt their own therapy; this is problematic because it leads to drug resistance. In addition, the presence/absence of drug resistance is a determinant of the success of HIV treatment. Thus, testing for drug resistance is essential for initial drug selection.We present the case of a highly drug-resistant HIV infection in a patient who irregularly took self-prescribed pre-exposure prophylaxis medications (lamivudine/zidovudine/nevirapine). We also showed that dolutegravir and darunavir/ritonavir might be effective as initial therapies in such patients.
