It looks like there is some initial panic over this news. I may be wrong, but I believe that this is the acceptance of what had been previously been suspected - that HAART usage would effect the outcome of the study. More complete analysis by those in the field is needed since I am no expert. REMUNE apparently still may a place in the treatment of HIV and it still has potential uses in the variety of other immune diseases.

Regards,
Bob

I don't believe the news was all that bad. Not enough end points not enough people died since HAART was used. More importantly is the following:

>"analysis, showed significantly greater reduction in viral load (level of HIV RNA in plasma) after 48 and 96 weeks of treatment and significantly greater increases in lymphoctye proliferation in those who added REMUNE to their underlying anti-retroviral therapy, compared with those who did not."<

This Verifies the Valentine and Thai studies. All is not lost and may be a good buying opportunity. Staying long and keeping the faith.
