Technical Commercial Reviews

• Increased HIV survival rates generate upcoming treatment challenges

The demographics of HIV patients are shifting, with the average age of those infected with HIV ever-increasing due to longer life expectancy and higher survival rates. In fact survival rates have risen to as high as 91% in some markets. However according to a recent report by independent market analyst Datamonitor* (DTM.L), with increasingly complex infections and drug resistance developing in long term patients, novel medications and new combinations are being launched to continue the assault in a market that is providing challenges for pharmaceutical companies.

• HIV infection - changes in epidemiology driving R&D development and increased market value

Globally, the number of people living with HIV continues to grow from 35 million in 2001 to 38 million in 2003. An estimated 5 million people acquired HIV in 2003, the greatest number in any one year since the beginning of the epidemic, and in the same year almost three million died as a result of AIDS taking the total to 20 million since the first cases of AIDS were identified in 1981.
