At the Owen Clinic of the University of California, San Diego, a study of
nearly 5,000 patients who sought care for HIV showed a drop in the death
rate starting in 1995, but then an upswing among those who came to the
clinic after 1998. (5 )
A survey of almost 3,000 people enrolled in five US antiretroviral trials
between December 1996 and December 2001 plotted a dogged doubling of the
death rate every 12 months, from 3.9 percent after one year of follow-up,
to 7.9 percent after two, and to 13.1 percent after three. (6)

Infections. February 10-14, 2003. Boston. Abstract 911.
