Managing Second‑Line ART Failure: An Advanced Clinical Care Approach

An increased second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) failure rate significantly narrows future options for HIV/AIDS treatment. This has critical implications in resource-limited settings, where the burden of HIV-infection places a strain on the healthcare system.
