Interesting Viramune results!!

The Wall Street Journal reported today that short interest in Agouron was 83,392 on 9/24/98 vs 2,000,730 on 8/28/98.

The shorts have left for now at least, and it looks like they made some money.

At first blush, I'm not impressed at all with the Viramune results (no PI used!); only 64% patients had nondectable VLs at 6 mos! In some respects, I feel sorry for these patients who have to go thru all these clinical trials looking for the "magic" pills when they could be on a known, effective PI combo treatment regimen that we know works, IMO. I don't recall; is AGPH giving a presentation at the ICAAC meeting?
