News article on AIDS cocktails:


"AIDS Cocktails Work in 'Real World,' Study Finds"
Reuters (11/07/97); Reaney, Patricia
New research published in the British Medical Journal
suggests that AIDS cocktails are effective in prolonging lives
and slowing the progress of HIV. The results are unique because
they looked at the use of the drugs in the "real world" without
the restrictions imposed in clinical drug trials. Overall, the
Swiss researchers looked at the records of more than 5,000
HIV-infected patients treated at several Swiss hospitals and
university AIDS units from 1988 to 1996. Data obtained from the
records indicated that compared to patients who were not
treated, patients experienced a 30 to 40 percent reduction in
disease progression and death after two antiretroviral
combination therapies were introduced in 1995, and a 60 percent
reduction when triple therapy with protease inhibitors was
initiated in 1996.
