April's Topic:
State-of-the-Art: HIV Therapy for the Treatment
Experienced
An Interview With Eric Daar, M.D., and Positively Aware Editor Jeff Berry
What does it mean when your HIV develops resistance to many HIV medications? If you have drug resistance, what are your options? In the bad old days, if your HIV
developed drug resistance, it was often a challenge for physicians to cobble together a powerful second regimen. As more and more people with HIV developed drug resistance, "salvage" therapy
-- or, as we prefer calling it, "rescue" therapy -- became one of the hottest topics in HIV treatment.
But the times are changing. If you are someone whose HIV has developed resistance to lots of HIV drugs, there
are now more HIV medications than ever before that can help you -- and there are even more drugs in development. The key is making sure that you and your HIV doctor have the knowledge
you need to come up with a treatment regimen that works for you.
That's why, for our April edition of This Month in HIV, we've interviewed two experts who can break down this issue for people who aren't experts: physician and researcher Eric
Daar, M.D., and Jeff Berry, an 18-year HIV survivor and director of publications for Test Positive Aware Network.
