Abstract
In this note, we first review some of the immunopathogenic mechanisms of HIV infection and discuss the possible role of the idiotypic network in producing immunodeficiency; we then propose that the interaction of HIV with the nervous system is such as to generate signals which are misinterpreted by the nervous system: the feedback reaction of the nervous system may play a crucial role in the development of AIDS. We conclude by studying a very simple model for the dynamics of AIDS.
