what are antiviral classes of drugs?
Fusion inhibitor Integrase inhibitor NRTIS NNRTIs Protease inhibitors
How are NRTIS activated?
They are nucleoside analogue so require addition of phosphate for activation
What is unique about Tenofovir , an NRTI?
it is a nucleotide analogue instead of nucleoside analogue and hence does not require activation
What are NNRT?
Bind to allosteric site on reverse transcriptase and change binding site on RT

what are Immune responses to HIV infection
Early T lymphocyte try to eradiacted HIV (Seroconversion)
1 week Later, B cell produce Anitbodies (Seropositve)
what is the advantge of having HLA 57.01 in HIV pt ?
More effective cytotoxic response against HIV
Bind a peptide from HIV core protein effectively
what is the role of broadly neutralising antibodies in HIV?

relapse occur only after when only B10-1074 Remained in bLOOD and HIV was resistant to that.
