Abstract
The recommendation for HIV antiretroviral therapy is changing from "treat early, treat hard" to "treat a little later, treat hard" as more toxicities of the drugs are recognized. Drug-resistant HIV is becoming a serious problem, even in treatment-naive patients. For HIV patients with organ failure, transplantation is increasingly an option.
