Methods of treating an individual who has been identified as having been infected with HIV are disclosed. Methods of treating an individual who is suspected of having been exposed to HIV are disclosed. Some methods disclosed comprise the step of administering to the individual an amount of a p38 inhibitor effective to inhibit FasL expression. Some methods disclosed comprise the step of administering to the individual an amount of a p38 inhibitor effective to inhibit HIV replication. Some methods disclosed comprise the step of administering to the individual an amount of a p38 inhibitor effective to inhibit HIV replication without inhibiting T cell activation. Some methods disclosed comprise administering to the individual one or more other anti-HIV compounds in combination with a p38 inhibitor. Methods of identifying compounds that inhibit Nef mediated upregulation of FasL expression are disclosed. Methods of identifying compounds that inhibit the p38 pathway are disclosed.
