Abstract

Recent advances in combination antiretroviral therapy have been encouraging. The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), a combination therapy that includes protease inhibitors, has revolutionized treatment and enhanced the prospects for survival for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).1 While HAART can markedly suppress HIV in plasma to undetectable levels, considerable uncertainty remains whether reductions in plasma levels correspond to decreased risk of transmission and whether treatment advantages can be sustained. Recent findings indicate that individuals undergoing treatment with HAART, with nondetectable HIV levels in plasma, may still have the virus present in seminal cells.2 Thus, the potential to sexually transmit HIV persists despite effective suppression of viral replication.3 From an international perspective, irrespective of the effectiveness of HAART in managing disease among people living with HIV in developed countries, the availability of HAART in less developed countries in all likelihood will be severely limited due to its prohibitive cost.
