The immunology of primary HIV infection: which immune responses control HIV replication?
In the majority of patients, HIV-1 replication is quickly and efficiently controlled after the initial burst of viremia. Recent studies have begun to elucidate the underlying immune responses that may be responsible for this dramatic reduction in viral load. These responses include those of HIV-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes and antibodies capable of binding the virus.
