Most likely not because even those who were susceptible to the virus would be able to use the medication in order to tame the virus.

Explanation:

If we wish to further evolve and gain a resistance to this virus the use of medication would only hinder it allowing those who have the resistance to it to reproduce would increase the number of individuals with the resistance.

Even though anti-HIV drugs may prevent evolution towards resistance, can you justify not using anti-HIV drugs if they are available? Your response should consider scientific and ethical perspectives.
