According to a recent survey conducted by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), 92 medicines are currently being developed to treat HIV and AIDS; these include 20 potential vaccines. Acknowledging the progress already made in treating the disease, but recognizing the tremendous need for further research, AIDS expert and Pfizer scientist Howard Mayer, MD, said, "I don't think there's any role for complacency. In HIV, we have to stay one step ahead of the virus."

A full 20 years after his diagnosis, Louganis is still strong and active; he attributes his well-being to an effective treatment regimen as well as physical activity and a positive attitude: "Take care of yourself. Do everything you can to alleviate stress in your life. Take a break and laugh at yourself."
