 AB    A number of studies confirm that any human tissue can be targeted by
       HIV, and also the endocrine system is involved during HIV infection. No
       endocrine adenus is saved by the assault of the opportunistic pathogens
       that overrun the organism unprotected due to the severe and progressive
       immune deficits induced by the HIV. As a consequence clinical, but often
       subclinical alterations can be detected that underline the close
       relationship among the systems of body adaptation to the environment
       (immune, endocrine, and nervous). Indeed these alterations can be viewed
       as an immunoneuroendocrine pathology. AIDS is a paradigmatic syndrome
       for the variety of immune dysfunctions, and also presents endocrine and
       neurological dysfunctions, which allow to better understand the
       connections among these systems, and the interactions of HIV with the
       immunoneuroendocrine dynamics.
