Some serious illnesses such as HIV tend to change, or mutate, rapidly within the body of a person suffering from the disease. Any number of factors can impact the ways the viruses mutate. For example, such factors may have to do with the properties of the patient’s genome, the treatments that were chosen earlier, and other biological factors. This leads doctors treating patients with these diseases to resort to a process that involves much guesswork, since it is not always apparent which treatment will work the best.
