Ha! I passed with an "Average" score and I have a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from a UC. I hope that says more about the test then about the knowledge of the test taker.

This is not news of a new therapeutic. The investigators mentioned in this article studied the immune system of HIV+ patients treated with combination drug therapy and showed that their immune systems were comparable to uninfected individuals. Combination drug therapy has been used since the early 1990s, but newer drugs that target different steps in the HIV life cycle are now being added to "the cocktail." Yes, you can get to undetectable viral load with combination therapy, but you must always stay on the anti-retrovirals that have HIDEOUS side effects. Drug resistant HIV is increasingly cropping up which may negate these effects in another decade. The only way to "cure" HIV is with an effective vaccine and that development remains elusive.

Inconsistently registers button clicks, otherwise a nice measure of one's attention to detail.
