Which cells does HIV infect?

I know that HIV infects CD4+ cells through the gp120-CD4 interaction (or I 
believe that *was* the story).

So which other cells and, if known, through which molecules on both the 
target cell and the virus.  

I remember hearing/reading where CD8+ (single pos.) may be infected.

Thanks.
