Strict compliance with treatment is considered essential because in some cases, skipping HIV medication for even a single day can make the virus even more resistant to therapy. Critics of this idea say that doctors shouldn't use a double standard for treating AIDS patients. A feature from the Akron Beacon Journal describes the controversy. Researchers don't all agree that HIV treatment can't be interrupted. That won't cure HIV, however.
Recent research indicates that the virus can hide out for years and resurface any time later.
