Atripla

First we get inhalable insulin, and now we have a one-pill-a-day regimen for HIV.  This was unimaginable in the early days of the cocktail, when the portable beeping timer was practically a symbol of the disease thanks to the complicated pill regimens.

It isn't just a matter of convenience, either.  One of the major challenges of treating HIV in the third world, on top of cost and local politics, has been managing multiple daily doses.  If people have never even seen a clock, since they have no real reason to know what time it is, how can you get them to take a pill six times a day at four-hour intervals?  The simpler regimens of recent years have made this easier, and Atripla should pretty much solve that problem.
