First paragraph (this article has no abstract)In 1983, during the earliest days of AIDS research, Deborah Anderson and her colleagues in Boston, Massachusetts hypothesized that AIDS was transmitted by virally-infected "Trojan horse leukocytes" in semen [1]. This prediction has been supported by numerous studies over the past two decades, although many questions remain concerning HIV infection of the male genital tract. In this issue of AIDS Research and Therapy, the Anderson group presents an important research tool to help address some of the critical unanswered questions in this area [2]. |
