The company is expected to give test results of its new AIDS drug today.

AIDS drugs can be produced more cheaply than is the case at present.

We have enough AIDS drugs to give them two at a time now: they seem to work better that way.

You have to take these (AIDS) drugs a certain number of hours each day, or they don't work.

Moreover, the five companies are not the only ones in the business of making AIDS drugs.

It wasn't until the beginning of 1996 that the first effective AIDS drugs began to become available.

That is down from around 20 percent in 1995, before the AIDS drugs were introduced.

The drug companies are wrong, however, on how to make AIDS drugs affordable.

P24 is only one of more than 80 AIDS drugs currently on trial.

But the number is declining as more and better AIDS drugs become available.
