Increased Risk of Death Tied to HIV Therapy
An increased risk of death from diseases other than AIDS has been tied to a therapy designed to help HIV-positive people.
Jim Neaton, a University of Minnesota biostatistician who led the study, says that the results indicated that patients receiving antiretroviral therapy for HIV had increased risk of death linked to three biomarkers.
Neaton says that additional treatments may be developed as a result of his findings. But he also calls for further research.
