Abstract: HIV a moving target In order to determine whether HIV is adapting to the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles, such as HLA-B*57, B*57 and B*51, that mediate successful control of the virus, viral sequences and HLA types were analysed in more than 500 HIV-infected subjects drawn from North America, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, Australasia and Asia. The results reveal that HIV is evolving at the population level in response to immune selection pressure. Whilst this does not indicate that HIV is necessarily 'winning' the evolutionary struggle against humans, it does suggest that successful HIV vaccines — like those against influenza — will need to keep pace with a changing immunological landscape.
