title: Biological properties of HTLVIII.
abstract: Since the first discovery of HTLVIII 2 years ago, there have been remarkable advances in the molecular characterization of the virus, our understanding of its replication and the development of serological tests. But a great deal remains to be elucidated about the natural history of viral transmission and of the spectrum of disease resulting from infection.
