The present invention is based upon the surprising discovery that exposure of a non-resistant HIV to a first entry inhibitor, such as an anti-CD4 antibody or a co-receptor inhibitor, which like all current HIV drugs selects for mutations that result in a resistant HIV, surprisingly results in HIV viruses much more susceptible to neutralization by a second entry inhibitor, such as soluble CD4 (sCD4) or an HIV gp41 inhibitor. Therefore, the present invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting HIV-1 infection in a subject that overcomes the problem of drug resistance.
