Explained largely by resistance and its effect on replicative capacity, and then virulence.<\/p>\n Also discussed is the more recent finding that PI-resistant induced decreases in replicative capacity may continue after discontinuation of PIs, allowing use on dual nucleoside therapy, and the use of complete and partial treatment interruptions to reduce further development of resistance rather than to promote a return to wild-type virus.
