Hi Dr. Landolfi;
Here is the next question from the group. First though, I want to pass on the sincere "thanks" expressed by many of the group members for your assistance.
This question is just a bit different than all of the past ones. I am asking your opinion, rather than fact....What treatments do you feel are the most promising, and - do you feel there will be a "cure" in our lifetime?
Thank you (as always)
Bruce
The doctor's response...
I am hopeful that we will develop adequate treatments in our lifetime to significanyly extend life and quality. AIDS was always a fatal disease within a short peroid of time afetr diagnosis. With a combination of meds we have extended life for HIV patients by decades. I personally feel that the "magic bullet" will be a combination of conventional chemtherapy and agents that block molecular pathways. We have several out there that seem promising, but I think it will be a combination of multiple drugs attacking multiple pathways
