Abstract
The acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-related complex (ARC) are sequelae of immune system injury initiated by a novel human retrovirus [human T-lymphotrophic virus strain III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV III/LAV)]. The resulting spectrum of immune deficiency sets the stage for opportunistic infection and malignancy. In this review, we consider progress made in the treatment and prevention of AIDS and HTLV III/LAV infection. Immunomodulator and antiviral approaches are discussed.Entities:
