Abstract

Acute or recent Cytomegalovirus infections were serologically identified in HIV1-seropositive individuals and studied in relation to HIV1 replication as HIV1-p24 antigenemia. The results obtained indicate that active CMV infections are often observed in HIV1-seropositive individuals and they preferentially precede or are coincident with HIV1 replication.
