• First reported by Hungarian physician: Moritz Karposi in 1872
• Multifocal cancer: dominant type is called spindle cells: endothelial origin
• Typically in older man in Mediterranian rim• In HIV-1: very aggressive: occurs in 20% of
infected homosexual man, only 2% in others• Evidence that Herpes virus (HHV8) is necessary
is strong

• HAART: highly efficient triple combination therapy: (2x anti-reverse transcriptase, 1xprotease inhib.)

HIV Infection is spreading over all continents

Difficulties:• Rapid mutations in virus• Danger to cause an inappropriate immune
response• Necessity to target privileged sites
(mucosa, brain)• Small animal models not available• Ethical issues of vaccination: people
should adjust behaviour
Immune Therapies/Prophylactic vaccine development

• Prevention!!!!!• Multiple steps in viral replication offer new
targets
