Henry, here is an interesting report that seems to be suggesting little resistance of the HIV virus to protease inhibitors and the cocktail: >>-report that many patients taking the new drug cocktails, known as combination therapy, for as long as 30 months show no signs of developing drug-resistant strains of HIV. They do, however, still harbor latent virus in a small number of their T cells--immune cells that are HIV's primary target--despite having undetectable blood levels of HIV.<< sciencemag.org Of course this is not to say that drug resistanT HIV WONT develop in these patients. However, it is encouraging. Of course the virus does survive. Perhaps just the other side of the AP article you posted which suggested the HIV cocktail users might be split in half with 1/2 developing resistance and the other half maintaining.
