Whether the resistance to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infection exist?

SummaryStudies of persons who remain uninfected despite exposure to HIV continue to provide valuable information on mechanisms of natural protection, which can be applied to future vaccine designs. They are arousing a huge public interest, leaving the belief that some people aren't sensitive to HIV infection. In this review, we focus on certain mechanisms associated with resistance to HIV and to the progression to AIDS, showing that the total insensitivity to infecting doesn't exist.
