AB The natural history of AIDS implies sexual and breast-milk transmission
of HIV across the mucosal lining of digestive and reproductive organs.
Intraepithelial mucosal lymphocytes specialized in handling foods,
air-borne, and microbial pathogens crossing the mucosal barrier
represent up to 90% of immunocompetent cells in a human body.
Enteropathy and respiratory infections, the main symptoms and cause of
death in AIDS, are attributed to the failure of mucosal immunity.
