...That's exactly what anti-HIV drugs, known as antiretrovirals (ARVs), are designed to do: interrupt the virus at various points along its nefarious journey. The FDA has approved four different classes of ARVs, each of which blocks a separate step in HIV's life cycle. The strategy is to build up a security detail of pharmacological agents that together thwart the virus at every turn, making sure that every receptor, protein and enzyme that the virus co-opts to sneak into a cell is covered...

...vulgarity (there are fart jokes) with a screen-goddess glamour that can't be faked. "Pedro says I have a dark side," Cruz says, "and I know he does. Maybe that's another thing that connects us. I never feel completely safe next to him." Almodóvar and Cruz interrupt each other constantly, sometimes in Spanish, sometimes in English.
