Now the "Super AIDS" has shown up in
Boston:
Massachusetts doctors have reported several HIV patients with a resistance to some of the most commonly prescribed treatments, raising further concerns about a possible new, drug-resistant strain of the virus.
The patients' resistance to drug treatment is similar to a New York City case that has sparked widespread concern among public-health experts, the Boston Herald reported.
"There is global concern that there may be an increasing amount of patients who have a resistant virus," said Dr. Gregory Robbins of Massachusetts General Hospital.
