AIDS - HIV Protease inhibitors promise new hope.

HIV protease inhibitors offer new hope of a combined approach to HIV infection. Results in some cases have been spectacular with undetectable levels of HIV achieved for long periods. This has raised talk of perhaps even being able to eradicate HIV altogether, based on the fact that many infected cells have a limited life-span. By preventing viral replication one could in theory reach a situation where all infected cells had died.

Most of the figures are from UNAIDS or other official sources including reliable in-country surveys. See also video.
