| Response from Dr. Pierone
 The fact that someone newly diagnosed with HIV infection acquired multi-drug resistance came as no surprise. The rapid progression to AIDS is somewhat surprising because multi-drug resistant virus tends to be less aggressive than wild-type virus. Whether this case is an anomaly or the harbinger of a disturbing new trend is not yet known. | ||||||||
