Operating alone, each of the three drugs -- AZT, ddI and pyridinone -- merely slows down the virus' ability to reproduce. Eventually, the microbe mutates and becomes resistant to treatment.

More than a month after the scientists stopped treatment of their laboratory cultures, they could find no virus...
