Study Supports Claim AZT Can Extend Lives
<i> Associated Press</i>
BOSTON — A study published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine supports the widely held belief that people infected with the AIDS virus live longer if they take the drug AZT before AIDS symptoms develop.
The research contradicts another study, released in February, that found no survival advantage to starting AZT treatment early.
The new study was directed by Dr. Neil M.H. Graham of Johns Hopkins University.
