The Association of HIV Susceptibility Testing With Survival Among HIV-Infected Patients Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy: A Cohort Study

TL;DR: It is found that, over a median follow-up of about 3 years, patients who had HIV-1 susceptibility testing were less likely to die than were patients who did not have testing, and the association was due to better antiretroviral treatment selection in tested patients or due to confounding.
