Hopeful News for a change

You’ve probably seen this already, but I hadn’t, so here goes:

Tests conducted in conjunction with Johnson and Johnson have shown the drug to be easily absorbed with minimal side effects. It also can be taken in one pill, in contrast to the drug cocktails currently taken by many AIDS patients.
