where does HIV virus binds to?
CD4+ cells
what happens to HIV virus after binding to CD4+ cells
D4+ cells and becomes internalized which will then decrease to an undetectable level
why when a px with HIV have lower body immune defense to other pathogens?
the immune system is focused on the HIV so it left the other pathogen unnoticed making the px immunocompromised and nagkakasakit

life cycle of HIV

BINDING
Life cycle of HIV
what receptors are in the surafe of a CD4 cell for budding
CD4 receptor along with
the CCR5 and CXCR4 coreceptors.
Life cycle of HIV
The HIV envelope and the CD4 cell membrane fuse together which allows entry of HIV enzymes and cells to the CD4 cells
FUSION
Life cycle of HIV
HIV reverse transcriptase convert its genetic material RNA to DNA.
REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION
Life cycle of HIV
Inside the CD4 cell nucleus, HIV releases integrase (an HIV enzyme) then integrates to insert its viral DNA into the DNA of the CD4 cells.
INTEGRASE
Life cycle of HIV
- Then HIV virus begins to use the machinery of the CD4 cell to make long chains of HIV proteins.
- The protein chains are building blocks for more HIV
REPLICATION
Life cycle of HIV
The new HIV proteins and HIV RNA move to the surface of the cell and assemble into immature noninfectious HIV
ASSEMBLY
Life cycle of HIV
Newly formed immature HIV pushes itself away from the host CD4 cell then releases protease which acts to break up the long protein chains that form the immature virus
BUDDING

infectious HIV.
