Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) was first described 30 years ago in a report
from the US Centers for Disease Control. Two years later the causative virus was identified
and afterwards named the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This article reviews the
progress made in the three decades since the recognition of AIDS and the discovery of HIV,
with respect to the virus, the infected cell, and the host, as well as directions for future
studies.
Abstract
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) was first described 30 years ago in a report from the US Centers for Disease Control. Two years later the causative virus was identified and afterwards named the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This article reviews the progress made in the three decades since the recognition of AIDS and the discovery of HIV, with respect to the virus, the infected cell, and the host, as well as directions for future studies.
