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. Chow's triple combo, however, appears to overwhelm HIV's ability to develop into new strains. More than a month after the scientists stopped treatment of their laboratory cultures, they could find no virus...
