According to Lawrence K. Altman of the New York Times in the article
"2 New Drugs Offer Options To Fight H.I.V. in Novel Ways" published on February 28 2007, two new drugs have surfaced that could help in the fight against AIDS. The drugs are not yet approved for marketing yet but are beleived to be so by the end of the year. These drugs have proved safe and highly successful "in large studies". The two new drugs would add two new different classes to the original four that are available to the free world to fight HIV. This would greatly increase the options of different types of treatments for the infected or people at risk of infection. This would grealty help the infected people whose current treatments no longer work because their virus has become resistant to drugs already. The number of people like this is in the tens of thousands.
I think this is a great oppurtunity for the fight agaisnt AIDS and HIV i just hope that the drugs are approved for sale on the market soon so the infected people have a chance to get better

Yes, I agree that a quick approval is necessary so these new drugs can be distributed. Hopefully the drugs are conscienciously distributed so that people at most risk of being infected are given a good share of the treatment.
