< Claiming that Henry is "dangerous" because he posts articles, etc. is somewhat absurd... and implying that he said "resistance will develop in couple of days" is, well, let's be nice here and just call it a falsehood.>

Although the possibility of eradication is less likely unless the drugs are taken for extended periods of time (10yrs or more), they are and will be the best shot anyone who is positive to live to see the cure if one should ever be developed.

That was an overexaggeration that resistance will develop in a matter of days, but the questions of resistance is what he has been trying to extrapolate all along. Henry never said that resisatance will develop in a matter of days and I apologize if it appeared to you that I did, but he certainly implied that resistance will eventually develop for everyone. That is dangerous, because that thought process could encourage patients and doctors to wait and not hit this virus early and hard. Their first shot is their best, and if it was me I would immediately start with 2 PIs

This issue is very important to Viracept sales and Agouron, whether Henry goes after the company directly or indirectly, his interpretation of the future for combination therapy is simply WRONG.

Lets say Henry version of eventual resistance is correct, and since he also sees no alternative, I guess people will just have to die again. That is a fear that is needlessly being spread to people who already have to put up with a lot of needless bullshit.

People who want to play games trying to manipulate a price of a stock (no one really does anyway) shouldn't provide empty hope (I don't think I have) or provide needless fear.

Lastly, I do not understand why someone like Henry who claims to have no financial interest in AGPH directly or indirectly in any way spends so much time with Agouron. He is certainly generous with his time in trying to educate fools here like myself
