Clinical trial reveals varied effects of ethanol on HIV replication in lymphocytes, suggesting individual differences.

This research aims to investigate how a single dose of ethanol affects HIV replication in human lymphocytes.
Administered oral ethanol at 1 g/kg to 12 healthy volunteers
Evaluated in vitro HIV replication in cultured lymphocytes
Assessed changes in lymphocyte phenotypes after ethanol exposure
Increased numbers of peripheral lymphocytes and natural killer cells after ethanol ingestion
Some subjects showed heightened HIV replication in lymphocytes post-ethanol
Most subjects exhibited no significant changes in HIV replication after the second trial

Cook et al. (1997) studied this question.
