To complicate matters, his disease was quickly progressing to the clinical definition of AIDS (very low T-cell count). At the time, the scientific community was very concerned because this case highlighted the possibility that there was a new strain of HIV that could not be treated with available HIV meds and that was being spread through unprotected sex.
