Antimicrobial resistance occurs when microorganisms resist the effects of medications, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. Combatting antimicrobial resistance is a global priority that needs coordinated action across all government sectors and levels of society.

HIV drug resistance is caused by changes in the genetic structure of HIV that affects the ability of drugs to block the replication of the virus. Minimizing the emergence and transmission of HIV drug resistance is a vital part of global efforts to address antimicrobial resistance.

The foundation of WHO’s recommendation is the development, by countries, of a 5-year national action plan on HIV drug resistance, which is aligned with the 5 key pillars of the Global action plan on HIV drug resistance:

1. prevention and response,
2. monitoring and surveillance,
3. research and innovation,
4. laboratory capacity,
5. governance and enabling mechanisms.
