Clearly the fusion inhibitor has the potential to eventually take some market share from the protease inhibitors. Effects should be minimal so long as the drug requires injection. Pill form fusion inhibitors are not in the cards for several years, if then. Side effects (particularly the longer term ones that bother current triple therapy patients) are largely unknown at this point, although gross safety has been tested for the injection product.

News stories about alternative HIV treatments seem to almost always knock AGPH stock back for a while. IMO most of us think that Viracept will eventually be replaced by something else, but it sure looks like it will be a long time before that happens, right now.
