While the drugs may overall tend to be very effective, any drug can be a degree of effectiveness based on the patient. Some drug therapies are obviously more pronounced in this effect (steroids for sarcoidosis comes to mind), but it still happens with all drugs. Specifically with AIDS, because many patients take it for such a long time, the virus can develop resistances to the therapies and become significantly less effective.
