To Make What this means is that those of us who have resisted taking antiretro-virals because we fear the drugs more than the disease, must now seriously reassess our thinking. Now, the goal is to keep the virus at bay, and prevent any further damage to our immune systems. The idea that therapy might perhaps be able to be stopped entirely is amazingly good news. Several esteemed physicians believe this is entirely possible. After all, what once seemed impossible now seems achievable.
Research is likely to start focusing on rebuilding the immune system.
Throughout the conference, one point which was made clear was that those of us in countries like the United States are very fortunate to have access to these treatments. Most AIDS patients in the world haven't even seen these drugs, let alone have access to them. They are lucky if they even have a doctor, clean water and food.
