HIValg compares HIVdb results to those of 2 other algorithms: i. Rega Institute (rules), and ii. Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le SIDA (ANRS rules). However, it does not provide the HIVdb report. HIValg also allows users to interpret sequences using any algorithm created using the Algorithm Specification Interface (ASI). Users can create their own algorithm and then upload it with their sequence.

A detailed description of the program as well as all updates can be found in the Release Notes .
