Sex and the genetic diversity of HIV-1

Abstract

The genetic variability of HIV-1 is an important aspect of its pathogenesis, even though studies in men have demonstrated that the viral population is usually homogeneous during the first months of infection. Now, a large study comparing men and women shows that even before an antibody response is detectable, the viral population differs between the sexes ( 71–75 ).
