re: cross resistance and Viracept

The following quote was in Steven Deeks MD's ICAAC summary posted on UCSF's website hivinsite.ucsf.edu. BTW, Dr Deeks was one of the researchers that presented the study at ICAAC on real-world combination therapy failure rates that got such widespread and mis-understood press. He's definitely a heavy hitter in AIDS medical practice.

"Conclusion: This encouraging data suggests that salvage therapy after
failing nelfinavir may be possible. This is in contrast to evolving
experience in patients failing indinavir and ritonavir therapy. If these
trends persist, using nelfinavir as a first line protease inhibitor, and
saving other drugs for salvage, may prove to be an appropriate
therapeutic strategy."
