This is the worst possible news in the HIV field since 1981.
This is probably the methcillin resistant staph aureus of the HIV world.
This bug mutates at an incredible rate, so in theory at least, this could be an isolated case. But my gut feeling is that it isn't, and we will be seeing a lot more in the weeks to come.
Normally, untreated, it takes upwards of 5-10 years to go from acute HIV infection to the first clinical findings of AIDS. Full blown AIDS three months after infection, with multiple drug resistance, is a setback of unimaginable proportions.
