34、.Among the important broader scientific questions that remain：1Why does AIDS predispose infected persons to certain types of cancer and infections?A longstanding belief is that cancer cells constantly develop and are held in check by a healthy immune system.But AIDS has challenged that belief.People
35、 with AIDS are much more prone to certain cancers like nonHodgkins lymphomas and Kaposis sarcoma，but not to breast，colon and lung，the most common cancers in the United States.This pattern suggests that an impaired immune system，at least the type that occurs in AIDS，does not allow common cancers to d
36、evelop.2What route does HIV take after it enters the body to destroy the immune system?When HIV is transmitted sexually，the virus must cross a tissue barrier to enter the body.How that happens is still unclear.The virus might invade directly or be carried by a series of different kinds of cells.3How
37、 does HIV subvert the immune system?Although HIV kills the immune cells sent to kill the virus，there is widespread variation in the rate at which HIV infected people become ill with AIDS.So scientists ask：Can the elements of the immune system responsible for that variability be identified？If so，can

40、question that an effective vaccine is crucial to controlling the epidemic.Yet only one has reached the stage of full testing，and there is wide controversy over the degree of protection it will provide.HIV strains that are transmitted in various areas of the world differ genetically.It is not known whether a vaccine derived from one type of HIV will confer protection against other types.6In the absence of a vaccine，how can HIV be stopped?Without more incisive，focused behavioral research，prevention messages alone will not stop the global epidemic.来源:学*科*网Z*X*X*K
