[AIDS and its virus].
An etiological agent of AIDS is a human retrovirus called HIV. The genomic structure of HIV features regulatory genes in which tat and rev genes control the viral replication and affect cellular functions. Understanding their molecular mechanism may provide a clue to prevent the onset of AIDS from the viral carriers and to direct drug designing of AIDS.
