More research into a vaccine, following new clues about a rare kind of antibody that might be able to block HIV from infecting cells.
And the U.S., where patent laws mean HIV treatment costs much more than in poor countries, soon may get a price break. Today, a single daily pill that combines three medications is the first-choice treatment, and costs about $15,000 a year. A generic version of one of those medications, efavirenz, is expected soon.
But to take advantage of it, patients would have to switch to three pills a day, as a combination product won’t be available.
