  1. How Does HIV-I Positive and Negative Antibody Status Patients Compare With the CKR5 Genotype?

  2. The Different Risk Groups • Exposed homosexual men, who had positive and negative antibody status. • Exposed hemophiliacs, who had positive and negative antibody status men.

  3. Types of CKR5 Genotypes • Homozygous wild type (+/+) • Heterozygous (+/∆32) • Homozygous mutant type (∆32/∆32)

  4. Data for Homosexual Men and Hemophiliacs

  5. Summary on homosexual’s and data • Most of the studies had more positive than negative antibody status except for one study done for homosexuals. • Only the negative subjects seemed to have the homogenous mutant CKR5 • The positive subjects showed no presence of the mutant CKR5.

  6. Summary on Hemophiliac’s data • Hemophiliac positive patients show no presence of the homo-mutant CKR5, but all others were present. • Hemophiliac negative patients showed presence of homo-mutant CKR5 in one study, and no presence in another study (different cohort study). • Hemophiliac negative patients had other CKR5 genotypes present.

  7. What Can Be Concluded? • The patients with the most diverse genotypes were the HIV-I negative patients • The HIV-I positive patients showed only the homozygous wild-type and heterozygous genotypes. • HIV-I negative patients may have a longer nonprogressive rate due to their diversity in genotype.
