Resent research has found a coreceptor called fusin (CCC-CKR5)which is
needed in addition to CD-4 for HIV-1 viral coat fusion with the plasma
membrane of T-cells.  Note some long term non-progressors have a mutant
fusin coreceptor which inhibits fusion.  

I can't remember the exact dates but check late 95 and 96 issues of
Lancet and Science.
