The mechanisms of HIV infection of target cells are described. Particularly the role of three types of cell receptors, which participate in the process of virus-cell interactions: CD4 protein, receptor for Fc fragment of antibodies and complement receptors are discussed. The variability of the virus variants, which determines the virus tropism and cytotoxic properties towards specific cell types is stressed.
