Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / June 2007New HIV drugs
Clever scientists have come up with THREE new HIV drugs. I like the 'deep salvage' term they use. Does it explain someone who's been so f*cked up by the HIV drugs that they're beyond help? Oh, but wait, there are three new wonder-drugs on the horizon to help these poor people... Keep popping the pills. <http://www.zeenews.com/articles.asp?aid=374661&sid=ENV&ssid=28>: "London, June 01: Scientists have found three new drugs that may help transform the long-term prognosis for people with the AIDS virus, thus giving hope for chronically infected patients. The study was conducted by a team of researchers including Hiroyu Hatano, and Steven Deeks at San Francisco General Hospital, University of California, USA. The three new drugs are the HIV integrase inhibitors, R5 inhibitors, and etravirine (TMC125), a second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. HIV patients in 'deep salvage' means those people who have developed multidrug resistant HIV that does not respond to drug combination therapy."

So why would you want to give them a drug that gives them more time to infect others with the multidrug-resistant HIV strain? Notice that being infected with multidrug-resistant strains of other pathogens gets you locked in a cage in a maximum-security quarantine facility, but infection with more politically-fashionable multidrug-resistant HIV gets you a goddamn medal and a parade down Main Street (complete with baton twirlers and homecoming queen on a float) in your honor. >Martin wrote... >> HIV patients in 'deep salvage' means those people who have developed >> multidrug resistant HIV that does not respond to drug combination >> therapy." >So why would you want to give them a drug... I don't. I think people who have began taking HIV medication are on a very slippery slope to a nasty end. Signature<http://www.hiv-poz.co.uk/> |
