✦ Synopsis


HIV-2 is less pathogenic and less transmissible than HIV-1. Recent research in relation to deletions in the HIV nef gene and to immune cross-reactions between infections by HIV-2, HIV-1 and simian immunodeficiency virus suggests that T cell recognition and the control of viral replication may be more efficient in HIV-2 infection than in HIV-1 infection. These insights may be crucial to the design of effective vaccines.

Despite considerable advances in antiviral therapy for HIV infection, successful global intervention will require an effective vaccine. Current evidence suggests that cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses will be an important component of such vaccination. Recent evidence suggests that cytotoxic T lympho
