What's new in HIV/AIDS. Protective immunity in HIV infection: where do we stand?

R Draenert et al. Infection. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

In the face of a global epidemic of HIV/AIDS with the majority of individuals living in the developing countries, a protective vaccine seem the foremost goal. As this is not within imminent reach, the other option would be immunotherapy that prolongs the asymptomatic phase of infection. The basis for such a therapy is to understand the correlates of protective immunity against HIV. Here we present the most recent advances regarding selected parts of the immune response towards HIV.
