"Study Pinpoints 'Extremely Low Levels' of HIV"
USA Today (02/02/99) P. 6D; Painter, Kim
A study presented at the Sixth Conference on Retroviruses and
Opportunistic Infections in Chicago showed that some people who
were repeatedly exposed to HIV but do not appear to contract the
virus are actually infected. The infected individuals--who had
repeated, unprotected sex with infected partners, but continually
tested negative for the virus--had "extremely low levels" of HIV,
the researchers said. Tuofu Zhu, of the University of Washington
at Seattle, said that the people may harbor defective HIV strains
that do not cause disease but serve to protect them, similar to a
natural vaccine, against more pathogenic strains.
