The document discusses several studies on HIV prevention efforts and viral replication. It summarizes trial results showing some vaccine and microbicide trials were disappointing or even dangerous for participants. It also discusses factors influencing viral replication rates in different cell types like metabolic activity and transcription activity. Key host proteins like APOBEC3G, NFAT, and Cyclin-T that are required for HIV infection are identified. A hypothetical virological synapse is discussed as a mechanism for direct cell-to-cell transmission without producing extracellular virus.
