Mechanisms of resistance to HIV infection

  • Chapter
Immunopathogenesis of HIV Infection

Abstract

The global expansion of the HIV-1 pandemic represents one of the world’s most pressing public health problems. HIV-1 has spread from the sites of the original epidemic in Africa, North America and Europe to involve all corners of the globe. This includes the rapid and devastating spread of HIV-1 into human populations in India, Southeast Asia, and South America. The vast majority of new HIV-1 infections worldwide occur through sexual contact. The second most common route of transmission is from mother to infant during pregnancy and delivery, or after birth as a result of breast feeding. In comparison to these routes of transmission, the worldwide incidence of new HIV-1 infections from direct intravenous injection of contaminated blood, either via medical administration of contaminated blood products or from sharing of needles during the recreational use of intravenously injected drugs, is almost negligible.
