摘要

IN 2009, THE UNITED NATIONS ESTIMATED THAT 33.2 MILLION PEOPLE worldwide were living with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and that 2.6 million people had been newly infected.(1) The need for effective HIV-1 prevention has never been greater. In this review, we address recent critical advances in our understanding of HIV-1 transmission and acute HIV-1 infection. Fourth-generation HIV-1 testing, now available worldwide,(2,3) will allow the diagnosis of infection in many patients and may lead to new treatments and opportunities for prevention.
