With the older drugs, people were not living long enough to a comprehensive study. Also not to long ago Doctors would take people off their HIV medicine when their CD4 count reached +1000. After awhile they found this to be detrimental to people when they they would eventually have to go back on HIV medicine. So now when a person is diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, they are going to be on this medicine for the rest of their lives.

The study is ongoing as to whether HIV medicine's will just stop working.

DISCLAIMER

I AM NOT A HIV EXPERT, BUT HAVE DEALT WITH THE DISEASE LONG ENOUGH AND TALK REGULARLY WITH MY DOCTOR AND READ CONSTANTLY ABOUT THE STUDIES IN HIV MEDICINE TO GIVE MY OPINION. THE LIFE I SAVE COULD VERY WELL BE MY OWN.

ETA: ANYONE READING HERE IF UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
