• Intensification=adding on new agent to preexisting regimen with incomplete viral suppression

• Concerns

  • may promote resistance as essentially monotherapy
  • may exhaust an option that could have been used later

• Potential Uses

  • acceptable if resistance develops slowly
  • duration of intensification should be minimal and include early escape option
