The antiviral activity for primary isolates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 of a combination of methylene blue and light irradiation was investigated, in comparison with their virucidal effects on laboratory‐adapted HIV‐1. The antiviral mechanism was evaluated in terms of reverse transcriptase activity and viral RNA in the same viral stock. Despite a marked reduction in RNA (>3.07 Log10) and infectivity (6.10 Log10) under conditions of 1 μM methylene blue and 5 J/cm2 irradiation when HIV‐1HTLV‐IIIB as a representative HIV‐1 was employed, relatively little degradation of the viral envelope (0.20 Log10) and reverse transcriptase activity (1.52 Log10) was observed. Because no difference in the reduction of infectivity was found between primary isolates and laboratory‐adapted HIV‐1 (including HIV‐2ROD), the antiviral mechanism of methylene blue photosensitization may be similar for all types of HIVs. Methylene blue photosensitization seems to deprive HIVs of infectivity, mainly due to RNA damage, and weak structural and functional damage of viral proteins. J. Med.
