AEGiS-BALA: Website For Protease Failures

Website For Protease Failures

Being Alive; April 1997

A website for both users and prescribers of protease inhibitors has been set up to collect reports of failures of these drugs, according to AIDS Treatment News.

"We are collecting stories from people who have failed on protease inhibitors, or who have had unusual responses to the drugs," say the project's sponsors.

"Unusual responses" would include the following: People whose viral loads did not change after starting combination therapy; people whose viral loads decreased in response to treatment, but who experienced a rebound in viral load within the first six months of therapy; people whose viral loads increased when they started therapy; people whose viral loads remained high but whose T-cell counts seemed to increase anyway.
