title: Primary HIV-1 Infection: Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, and Treatment.
abstract: Primary HIV-1 infection represents the time when the virus is first disseminating throughout the body and induces host immune responses. Diagnosing this stage of disease requires an understanding of who is at risk, the clinical manifestations of primary infection, and how the diagnosis is made. Identifying these individuals allows for counseling to prevent further transmission to others and the potential benefits associated with early antiretroviral therapy. Moreover, studying these individuals provides important insight into the biology of HIV-1 transmission and immunopathogenesis.
