To explain the low transmissibility and pathogenicity of HIV-2 infection's plasma viral loads
in both HIV-1-and HIV-2-infected persons were compared by using the polymerase chain …

Objective: To evaluate specific anti-HIV cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activity in relation to
basic clinical and laboratory parameters used to follow HIV infection. Methods: Lymphocytes …

Risk for human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) and human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) infection was evaluated in 100 homosexual or bisexual men from Trinidad. High …

Exposure to human immunodeficency virus (HIV) can result in HIV infection which is defined
by seroconversion and the detection of HIV-specific antibodies. Nevertheless, in every …

Although early reports of an etiological role of HTLV-I in AIDS are not supported by
subsequent epidemiologic and biologic data, all AIDS specialists should be aware of the …

Plasma HIV-1 RNA and CD4+ T-cell counts after HIV-1 seroconversion are important
independent markers that predict the clinical course of HIV-1 infection. The prognostic …

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) may play an important role in host defense against HIV-1
infection. In this study, we examined the responses of circulating effector CTL (CTLe) …

Abstract Changes in CD4 lymphocyte counts are widely used in monitoring human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients for disease progression. However, random …

To determine the influence of HIV-1 replication on immunologic decline and clinical
outcome, we quantified the HIV-1 plasma viral load in 20 patients at different times over a …

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 2 infection is characterized by slower disease
progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome than results from HIV-1 infection. To …
