Top HIV/AIDS Stories of 2006
The ACC editors offer their perspective on the year’s most important stories in HIV medicine.
Each year, the editors of AIDS Clinical Care choose the year’s top stories. In making our choices, we try to strike a balance between relevance to HIV care, recognition of landmark studies, and media publicity and public awareness. Some of our top stories emerge from a single important study, and others come from a group of papers on a single topic. All citations are from 2006, unless otherwise noted.
Our Top Stories for 2006 are:
New CDC HIV Testing Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents
One Pill, Once Daily = Triple Therapy for HIV
Resistance Testing: A New Emphasis on Detecting Transmitted Resistance
Standard Triple-Drug Regimens Remain the Best for Initial Therapy
Expanded HIV Treatment in Resource-Poor Countries
Promising New Options for Treatment-Experienced Patients
Discouraging News on Structured Treatment Interruption
XDR TB: A Growing Public Health Concern
