Setback in controlling HIV/AIDS

But that's the thing, it's unethical to risk patients' health for scientific gains. In medicine the endgame is health, not knowledge, and medical research has to toe this line if it's done on humans.

Of course risks are also taken every time you try a new treatment for research, there's acceptable and unacceptable risks usually determined by an ethics board. Like taking meds off a cancer patient just to have a placebo/control group is not allowed, you have to give them an existing proven to work medication.

I feel like the risks is pretty high in this case, considering it's HIV.

Staying put has risks, too, y'know.
