Abstract


There is no abstract for this article. The text below is the first paragraph of text within the article.

In the past few years, AIDS has become a disease that can be treated effectively even though it cannot yet be cured. Therapies directed against the replication of HIV, the lentivirus which causes AIDS, that involve a combination of drugs that inhibit viral enzymes can reduce the amount of HIV in the blood to barely detectable levels, restoring normal levels of immune function in patients.
