Oh dear...

<http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1895734.ece>:

"HIV sufferers who take the antiretroviral drug, Viracept, should
contact their doctors immediately, British health officials said
tonight, after the medicine was found to contain a substance that can
cause cancer.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and
European regulators said that batches of Viracept across the EU had
been tainted by a "genotoxic" or potentially cancer-causing chemical."

Who cares?  I really think that for an AIDS patient who has to swallow
dozens of pills a day that cancer wouldn't be much of a concern.
