It was proposed recently that CEM CD4-positive T cells infected chronically by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) (CEM(HSV/HIV)) may be used as a model for studying HIV/HSV interactions. To ascertain whether HSV-HIV coinfection of T lymphocytes has a
