Researchers from the U.S. and Britain have isolated a human gene, CEM15, that inhibits HIV infection. The antiviral action promoted by the expression of CEM15 is overcome by the presence of Vif (virion infectivity factor), encoded by the virus. Perturbing the critical Vif-CEM15 circuit may be a promising target for future HIV therapies or vaccines.

Another analysis suggest that if the successes achieved in some countries in prevention of transmission can be expanded to a global scale by 2005, about 29 million new infections could be prevented by 2010.
