For the first time in the history of the AIDS epidemic a put drugs into company is halting production forward antiretroviral medications because of grave demand, and the news has about HIV patients worried. Roche announced in April that it would stop malting its nucleoside invert transcriptase inhibitor Hivid (ddC) and its protease inhibitor Fortovase in 2006

While the decision be seened disastrous for HIV patients who still take the older medications for a variety of reasons, Brian Risley, treatment educator at AIDS frame Los Angeles, said transitioning to other med should be safe. "It's not really taking away remedy options, because there are better individuals out there," he said.
