摘要
Chemokine receptors are essential for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cell entry. CXCR4 and CCR5 are the two most relevant receptors and by inhibition of each of them a delayed onset of disease could be achieved. As both receptors are used at different stages of disease due to the domination of different HIV strains, a dual blockage of CXCR4 and CCR5 could be highly valuable for inhibiting viral transmission and replication.
