Abstract:
The early natural history of HIV does not differ markedly from that of other lymphotropic pathogens. However, the HIV lentivirus has a number of unique features that not only facilitate escape from the host immune response but eventually lead to dysfunction and destruction of the immune system. Actual cure will not be possible until a way to eliminate the stored virus is found.
