Concerns about HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy)

Protease Inhibitors

Protease Inhibitors were described as miracle drugs when they first were made available in late 1995. However, the miracle turned out to be a mirage, as a whole range of new side effects, particularly metabolic abnormalities, were discovered. As with all AIDS drugs, this should not have been a surprise, because they are tested for only a short time, in order to rush them to market.
