Terrence Higgins Trust comment on Belgian research showing the HIV virus is 'less fit' than 15 years ago

Will Nutland, Head of Health Promotion at Terrence Higgins Trust commented on Belgian research showing the HIV virus is 'less fit' than it was 15 years ago:

“This latest study adds to the debate on an apparently confusing and contradictory issue. Some studies suggest recent strains of HIV are more sensitive to drugs while others claim strains are becoming more resistant. The study adds to the body of evidence but HIV is showing no signs of dying out in the near future."
