Antiretrovirals are the breakthrough of the year

Study of the Day: Antiretrovirals Radically Cut Risk of HIV Infection - Hans Villarica - Health - The Atlantic: "RESULTS: Given the astounding findings -- people infected with HIV are 96 percent less likely to transmit the virus to their partners if they take ARVs -- an independent monitoring board halted the clinical trial in May, five years ahead of schedule. They decided that all infected participants should receive the drugs at once and that the public should be informed of the findings as soon as possible.

CONCLUSION: ARVs can treat HIV in infected patients and significantly cut transmission rates."
