Injections providing protection against AIDS in monkeys, studies find

“Two studies [one by David Ho, director of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center at Rockefeller University] each found 100 percent protection in monkeys that got monthly injections of antiretroviral drugs, and there was evidence that a single shot every three months might work just as well. If the findings can be replicated in humans, they have the potential to overcome a major problem in AIDS prevention: that many people fail to take their antiretroviral pills regularly.”
