Superinfection: another problem for HIV vaccine design. Two cases of human HIV-1 intersubtype superinfection were detected by molecular and serologic analyses several weeks after complete seroconversion to the primary infection with a strain belonging to a different subtype. Superinfection occurred despite specific T cell and humoral antibody responses to the primary virus.

AIDS Conference: New anti-HIV microbicides. A topical microbicide containing a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (Dapivirine) blocked vaginal transmission of HIV-1 in a hu-SCID mice model. Another novel candidate is a polymer derived from sulfuric acid treatment of mandelic acid or SAMMA, which has broad inhibitory activity against HIV and HSV with little or no cytotoxicity.
