Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus infection results in decreases counts and compromised functions of T-cells and the associated immunodeficiency, opportunistic infections, and cancer. The paradox of HIV infection is that all this occurs upon the activation of the immune system, mainly inborn immunity, and increased production of cytokines leading to chronic systemic inflamma-tion. The immune response to HIV is evoked immediately upon infection; however, it fails to eliminate HIV, partly because of the active resistance of HIV to host immunity. Antiretroviral therapy is able to suppress HIV replication to a minimum and to somewhat restore the immune system; however, in many patients this is associated with serious complication manifested as the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, IRIS. Immunotherapy for HIV infection is meant to prevent HIV infection and spread by preventive and therapeutic vaccination, including passive vaccination with broad-specificity neutralizing mono-clonal antibodies and the use of anti-chemokine drugs and to restore immunity and to mitigate complications.
