Can anyone out there resolve an apparent contradiction in the courses I'm currently doing? The virology course says that retroviruses don't kill their host cells except when its HIV in which case it does. Immunology says HIV doesn't kill cells, cytotoxic T cells doing their proper job remove the infected cells? Which is correct or is the fact that we don't actually know? (btw anybody who want to rant at me about how HIV isn't the cause of aids should fells free because I think its intereting but can they argue the case instead of spouting dogma please?) Thanks in advance Matthew, mic2mcb@south-01.novell.leeds.ac.uk mic2mcb@gps.leeds.ac.uk
