New AIDS strain emerges

and it's more virulent than the one we have now. The new strain was found by doctors in New York, and seems to be resistent to three of the four most commonly used AIDS drugs. Plus, instead of taking years to develop from an HIV infection into full blown AIDS, it takes only three or four months.

I was already concerned about the possibility of a bird flu pandemic, but this is another sign that the microbes continue to fight back.
