Genetics and AIDS
Nov 10, 1997

How does A.I.D.S effect the genetics of my immune cells. Does it inhibite the ability of my cells to create other non-A.I.D.S infected immune cells

Response from Dr. Murphy

Dear Questioner,

HIV causes an array of immune dysregulation which includes but is not limited to destruction of CD4 lyphocytes. This is why there is an increased incidence in all sorts of cancers, like lymphoma. Controlling the infection hopefully will at least decrease the amount of dysregulation.

Robert Murphy, M.D.
