The topic of this paper is the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, and
whether or not mutations undergone by the virus allow it to survive in the
immune system. The cost of treating all persons with AIDS in 1993 in the

continue surviving undetected?
These are all questions that must first be answered before we even begin to
try to determine if viral mutations are what allows HIV to survive in the
immune system.
