The way animal research stalled the availability of protease inhibitor
treatments was exposed several years ago in Washington Post magazine, and
has since been conceded - in part - by the Vice-President of Merck,
Bennett M.Shapiro.

He acknowledges that trials of a promising protease drug were halted in
1989, after it was tested on lab rats and dogs and they all died. Merck
assumed this treatment would have the same deadly effect on humans.

Paul, the definition of "disingenuous" has your photo appended.

What a load of horseshit. First, I don't believe a word of what you
say.

Second, ANY drug of a class of drugs may not be as good as other
members of the class. It may not work as well or it may be toxic. But
that doesn't mean all members of the class are the same.

Third, toxicity is in the dose.

Fourth, while many people with HIV who are on ARV have side
effects--and almost everyone probably will afer long enough--there are
plenty of data showing they extend life considerably.

But la-dee-da...won't make any difference to you. The disease you're
suffering from is known now as "Bushitis"....a complete inability to
recognize reality coupled with a pathological need to constantly lie.

All from the drugs companies. What a surprise!

Wrong and irrelevant in any case.
