Abstract
HIV disease is caused by human adapted Lentiviruses, a family of mamma lian retroviruses that use the immune systems of their hosts to persis t and, as their name implies (lenti = slow), to product a disease stat e over long periods of time. The pathogenesis of HIV infections is now known in enough detail to make decisions about intervening in the cou rse of the disease.
