We analyzed the evolution of viral tropism after 8 days of maraviroc monotherapy, i.e., we used the maraviroc clinical test (MCT), in 21 patients with and 14 without virological response to the drug (MCT(+) and MCT(-) patients, respectively). No increases in CXCR4 inferred viral loads (X4IVLs) were observed in MCT(+) patients, while X4IVLs increased only in MCT(-) patients, with X4IVLs of >2 log(10) HIV RNA copies/ml. These results shed light on the evolution of viral tropism under a CCR5 antago ...[more]
