The purpose of this study is to identify variations in the genome of HIV early after infection and following the development of AIDS to determine the location of escape mutations that might provide information about potential B\*35 epitopes. These data will be useful in explaining the difference in disease progression between individuals possessing B\*35 Px alleles and those with B\*35 PY alleles. We have previously shown that individuals with B\*35 Px alleles progress at a significantly faster rate compared to those with B\*35 PY alleles. This study might provide information which is potentially useful in the development of a successful HIV vaccine.
