Henry, even if you are correct and the PI Failure rate does eventually approach 100% for all patients, given enough time, you have still not answered John W's point:

If there is no other viable alternative at this time, and in the forseeable future, then patients will still use the best known therapy to prolong life, which includes Viracept.

It will be disappointing to all if the triple therapy is not more successful than your pessimistic scenario. But even in the case of eventual 100% failure rates, the triple cocktailt still will have a lot of value and be the best alternative out there. Yes I know that another miracle therapy for HIV might be found, but so far I haven't seen evidence of it. RR
