 Hello, SARS is not related to HIV in any way, other than they are both viruses. Since we didn't have an effective treatment for SARS, many therapies were tried, including anti-HIV therapies in the hopes they might work against this new virus as well. Hope that calms your fears about any link between the 2 illnesses. Nicest doc in town??? Blush, blush. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
