Introduction: Southern African Treatment and Resistance
Network (SATuRN)
SATuRN
currently includes 24 research partners in southern Africa that support
our initiatives. We have collated over 3,200 resistance genotypes
linked to treatment and clinical information and host two of the best
HIV drug resistance databases in the world (The Stanford HIV Drug
Resistance Database and RegaDB Clinical Management and Drug resistance
Database). To advance access to drug resistance testing to patients,
providers and programs, we have been working with a network of
academics laboratories to develop and implement a cheaper resistance
genotype test. We have also delivered training in drug resistance
testing and management to nearly 1,000 physician and nurses in southern
Africa...
