Abstract

The impact of host genetic variation on outcome of HIV infection in the absence of combinationantiretroviral therapy (cART) has been well documented. Growing evidence reports relationshipbetween specific killer-cells immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) polymorphisms and different HIVprogression in the absence of treatment. The goal of the present study is to determine the association ofKIR genes and their human leukocytes antigen (HLA) ligands with viral load and HIV progression inpatients on cART.
