AZT

January 1989

In 1989 trials were concluded of the drug (Azidothymidine) which was shown to slow progression to in positive individuals. This was not a cure and came at a heavy price with often debilitating side effects, although it did prolong life and eventually was given in combination with other drugs as early as 1992, although did not become widely used until 1996.
