Viroscore basecalling software With the viroscore basecalling software we wished to develop an automated, easy-to-use sequence analysis software that will support and process all the genotypic resistance testing and data generated by the other ART-A partners.

The HIV Drug resistance research dissemination and policy meeting was held in Uganda at the Commonwealth Resort & Conference Center Munyonyo, Kampala on the 19th and 20 th of April 2012. The meeting was organized by the Joint Clinical Research Centre in collaboration with the National HIV Drug Resistance Committee with support from the ARTA project, sponsored by NACCAP-WOTRO and UVRI through the CDC-PEPFAR grant.
Efforts to fight HIV/Aids could hit a snag after it emerged that 12 per cent of the people living with the disease and on Anti-Retroviral Therapies (ART) have registered drug resistance.
As the Ugandan Anti-retroviral Therapy (ART) programme matures, new challenges have begun to emerge.
“If you are an HIV/Aids patient on Anti Retroviral Therapy, please adhere to your treatment to avoid developing HIV Drug resistance,” this was a message given by Dr Alex Ario, the National ART co-ordinator Ministry of Health.
