Good point that resistance will develop, although not necessarily with each patient. Resistance developed to antibacterials, but many lives were (and still are) extended. IMO same principal here, although faster.

Bottom line for drug manufacturers IMO: Hot drugs in this field are not annuities, and may play out before their patents expire. Drug manufacturers must continue to develop their drugs, not rest on their laurels. Still, these are the early days for protease inhibitors.
