HHV-6 Quote of the Day

In rereading Hillary Johnson's amazing book, Osler's
Web recently, these two sentences about HBLV, which
eventually was called HHV-6, caught our attention:
"Significantly, the Gallo group had found AIDS
patients' T-cells to be co-infected with the new
herpesvirus and HIV. Because HIV itself killed only a
small number of T-4 cells, the herpesvirus might be
responsible for the eventual annihilation of T-4 cells
in AIDS, the team said."
