Health officials in New York say they have found a new strain of highly drug-resistant HIV in a city resident. The resident, a man in his mid-40s, is thought to have developed Aids much faster than usual after infection. The strain - known as 3-DCR HIV - has not been detected anywhere else in the world and is "difficult or impossible to treat", according to health experts.
