Abstract

Over the past several years, great strides have been taken in the understanding and treatment of the human immunodeficiency virus. Death rates due to HIV have declined significantly since the introduction of protease inhibitors. Despite the advances in the field, health practitioners are still quite limited in their ability to curb this disease: 40,000 new HIV infections occur every year in the United States. This article will review the new advances in pathogenesis and treatment and discuss the limitations faced in treating the disease.
