The Sordid Affair between Human Herpesvirus and Human Immunodeficiency Virus
"Both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human herpesvirus (HHV)
infections persist lifelong, and almost all individuals
infected with HIV are also infected with one or
more HHV. These co-infections are not independent processes or benign.
In
this review, we discuss how HHV, and
cytomegalovirus (CMV) in particular, interact with concurrent HIV
infection, and we describe
the next steps necessary to understand and address
these connections."
