#' AIDS Clinical Trial ACTG036
#'
#' A data set from the AIDS clinical trial ACTG036 (\url{https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00001104}) comparing
#' zidovudine (AZT) with a placebo in patients with hereditary coagulation disorders and HIV infection. The study
#' results were described in Merigan et al. (1991) <doi:10.1182/blood.V78.4.900.900>. This data set has the same
#' variables as the actg019 data set. We can use the actg019 data as the historical data and the actg036 data as
#' the current data.
