New AIDS drug approved

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...aids_fuzeon_dc

Fuzeon, also known as T-20, has been approved by the FDA for treatment of AIDS. It works by a completely different mode of action than previous AIDS drugs, so should be useful to those whose HIV is becoming resistant.

Fuzeon interferes with HIV entry to cells. The down side: It's very expensive.
