Primary genotypic and phenotypic HIV-1 drug resistance in recent seroconverters in Madrid
Article Abstract:
Twenty-seven percent of 30 HIV patients in Madrid had a form of HIV that was resistant to at least one AIDS drug even though none had been treated with AIDS drugs. All newly diagnosed HIV patients should be tested for drug resistance before they are treated so their doctor will know which drug to use.

Effectiveness of highly active antiretroviral therapy in reducing heterosexual transmission of HIV
Article Abstract:
HIV prevalence was compared among those who were recruited during the years before the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and those included during the period when HAART was being used. An important decrease in HIV transmission was observed in a thoroughly studied group of steady heterosexual couples, after the introduction of HAART, irrespective of any changes in other factors that affect transmission.
