(12) Infidelity of replication is a hallmark of the HIV-1 RT, and replication errors by the enzyme on RNA and DNA templates are discussed.
(13) Further work is required to determine whether such a risk exists but caution should be exercised by those exposed to aerosols generated during procedures on HIV-1 infected patients.
(14) These observations demonstrate further that other mechanisms for viral entry, besides CD4 binding, must be considered for HIV.

(16) Studies using serum from mice that had been immunized with synthetic peptides from the HIV envelope region suggested that this response is directed, at least in part, at several determinants of the transmembrane portion of the HIV envelope glycoprotein.
(17) Probably a mixed strategy will be to reduce the risk of HIV or IVDUs.
(18) The pattern of neuropsychological deficits across HIV-1 states was similar to those found in cohorts of homosexual men.
