AIDS Immunology and Pathogenesis Study Section – AIP
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 researchers use to model HIV infection including, but not limited to, simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). This Study Section also reviews studies on horizontal and vertical transmission of HIV.
The List of Reviewers lists all present, whether permanent or temporary, to provide the full scope of expertise present on that date. Lists are posted 30 days before the meeting and are tentative, pending any last minute changes.
