In this study the structures of the AIDS-virus are presented, furthermore the cross-reactivity of HIV-1 and HIV-2 is described as well as the known genes of both viruses. The mechanism of cell infection, its kinetics and the special role of activated T-cells and macrophages in this process are outlined. This interrelation characterized phenomenologically based on the neopterin data available is now supported by experiments at a molecular level. This should lead to therapeutical and diagnostical consequences.
