A Strong Case for Viral Genetic Factors in HIV Virulence

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: HIV infections show great variation in the rate of progression to disease, and the role of viral genetic factors in this variation had remained poorly characterized until recently. Now a series of four studies [1-4] published within a year has filled this important gap and has demonstrated a robust effect of the viral genotype on HIV virulence.
