of this trial are somewhat disappointing," notes Dr. Havlir, "they should not discourage future attempts to simplify therapies for HIV. Data from this trial and from other recently completed trials argue that induction therapy, maintenance therapy, or both must have greater virologic potency than the regimens used in these trials if they are to sustain viral suppression.
