title: HIV virus, prostaglandins and essential fatty acids; a suggested mechanism for T helper cell penetration.
abstract: Prostaglandins and or its precursors are present in certain body fluids. It has been suggested that critical concentrations of PGE are essential for the HIV to penetrate a lymphocyte. Certain clinical implications of this hypothesis have been discussed.
