title: Human immunodeficiency virus: strategies for protection and therapy.
abstract: Never before has so much been learned about the molecular biology of a virus in such a short time since its discovery and yet effective strategies for fighting the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS remain elusive. This review and the accompanying colour centrespread outline some of the options available at the present time. The centrespread illustrates areas within the complex virus infection cycle with potential for therapeutic intervention and lists other possible modes of treatment, while the review below concentrates on the identification and presentation of candidate vaccines and discusses the problems of evaluation that face investigators.
