Abstract Body: 

An accidental contagion during the production of theoretically non-infectious HIV-1 laboratory-recombinant viruses, used only for research purpose, is here described.

HIV-1 infection was diagnosed by ELISA assay, confirmed by Western Blot, and HIV-RNA/DNA test. Baseline plasma samples were used for routine pol and V3 sequences, PBMC for the whole HIV-1 genome sequencing and for in-vitro isolation. Phylogenetic analyses using Neighbor Joining (NJ) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) methods revealed the source of infection. Ethics committee approval and signed informed consent were obtained

The University of Rome (Italy) group did not say that this form of HIV did get airborne. But it leaves open the way the researcher did get the HIV he was working with.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
