| Response from Dr. Young
 Robert, thanks for your question. The answer to the question depends a lot on how treatments are managed. In general, a second- and probably third-round regimen should be sucessful, provided that the resistance pattern is well understood and the interventions are appropriate. Deeper "salvage" therapies can be sucessful, only that the likelihood decreases. Newer classes of medications (like fusion inhibitors or integrase inhibitors) should permit improvements in the prognosis for these persons too. This is a key area of debate and research- that is, the proper sequencing of antiretroviral therapies. Good luck, BY | ||||||||
