The AIDS-associated Opportunistic Infections and Cancer [AOIC] Study Section reviews applications on opportunistic infections and cancers associated with HIV and AIDS. The science encompasses pathogenesis, immune responses, animal models, and molecular characterization of AIDS-associated opportunistic infections and cancers. Proposals should address opportunistic infections in the context of HIV infection/AIDS. Specific areas covered by AOIC are:

• Molecular, cellular, and tissue-based studies of pathogenesis of AIDS-associated opportunistic infections, including viral pathogens, interactions among multiple pathogens and animal models of AIDS-associated opportunistic infections.
• Studies of HIV/AIDS-associated cancers, including animal models.
• Immunology of AIDS-associated opportunistic infections.
• Discovery/identification of therapeutic targets for AIDS-associated opportunistic infections.

Study sections with most closely related areas of similar science listed in rank order are:

AIDS Discovery and Development of Therapeutics (ADDT)
AIDS Immunology and Pathogenesis (AIP)
AIDS Clinical Studies and Epidemiology (ACE)
