HIV replication cycle
Gp120 binds with Cd4 in Th
Co factor CcR5 and CxCR4
Conformational change: fusion with host cell membrane via gp41
Uncoating of the capsid protein, facilitates reverse transcription and formation of pre integration complex (viral RNA, accessory proteins, capsid and matrix proteins)
Risk for HIV transmission with unprotected receptive anal intercourse (URAI)
1.4%
