AB HLA-disease associations may be important for understanding the
pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.
Therefore, 106 homosexual men from the Amsterdam Cohort Study on AIDS
with a known date of HIV-1 seroconversion were serologically typed for
HLA. Several significant associations between HLA type and pathogenic
features of HIV-1 infection were observed: Subjects with fever and skin
rash during primary HIV-1 infection showed an increased frequency of
HLA-B62 (relative risk [RR], 5.8; P = .005). The frequency of HLA-B35
was increased in subjects with a rapid decline in CD4+ T lymphocytes
(RR, 3.2; P = .021). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed a
significant association between HLA-B35 and a decrease in CD4+ cells to
< 200/microL (P = .01). The strongest association was found between
HLA-DR1 and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (RR, 22.5; P < .001), also
confirmed in survival analysis (P = .001). In AIDS patients with only
opportunistic infections, increased frequencies of HLA-DR3 (P = .011)
and -DQ2 (P = .007) were observed. Finally, the occurrence of
syncytium-inducing HIV-1 variants was significantly associated with
HLA-DQ2 (P = .01).
