Since HIV emerged in the ’80s, drug “cocktails” transformed the deadly disease into a manageable one. But the virus is adept at developing resistance to drugs, and treatment regimens require tweaking that can be costly. Now scientists at the 249th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) are announcing new progress toward affordable drugs that could potentially thwart the virus’s ability to resist them.

“This disease has gone on for over three decades,” says Dennis Liotta, Ph.D. “We’ve got to try to find new solutions. Even with the 30 approved drugs that we have, and even when you completely suppress viral replication, we still see disease progression.”
