With HIV infection, a struggle between virus and host begins. Even though the eventual outcome seems predetermined, in most patients HIV may remain relatively nonpathogenic as long as the immune system can suppress it. A key question is whether host antiviral activity eventually breaks down or whether the virus mutates into strains that can destroy the immune system.
感染HIV后，病毒与宿主之间的斗争就开始了。尽管最终结果似乎是注定的，但在大多数患者中，只要免疫系统能够抑制它，HIV可能就会保持相对无致病性。一个关键问题是，宿主的抗病毒活性最终是否会失效，或者病毒是否会变异成能够破坏免疫系统的毒株。
