Dr Kholoud Porter, epidemiologist, on living with HIV and AIDS
'The introduction of highly active anti-retroviral therapy has been a tremendous success. Before this therapy was introduced, about half of those infected were expected to live for 10 years after diagnosis, much less if they were, say, 40 years old when infected. Now people treated with these combinations of drugs can almost all expect to live at least 10 years after diagnosis, regardless of their age at infection.'
Dr Kholoud Porter, epidemiologist at the Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit, London
