 AB    This article presents the new hypothesis that HIV retrotransposon
       insertional mutagenesis induces genomic effects that bring about immune
       dysfunction through disruption, deletion or rearrangement of the genome
       of the host. This activity may be augmented by the action of most, if
       not all, the cofactors of HIV-induced disease.
