[AIP Membership Roster] [AIP Meeting Rosters]

The AIDS Immunology and Pathogenesis [AIP] Study Section reviews applications on the host immune responses to and pathogenesis of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and related retroviruses that cause immunodeficiencies including, but not limited to, simian immunodeficiency virus and feline immunodeficiency virus. This Study Section also reviews studies on sexual transmission and mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Specific areas covered by AIP are:

• Innate, cellular, and humoral immune responses.
• Immunological studies of transmission, initiation, and establishment of infection.
• Mechanisms of host immune dysfunction.
• Mechanisms of viral evasion of host immunity.
• Viral and host determinants of HIV pathogenesis.
• Animal models for HIV transmission, pathogenesis, and immunity.
