Q

Pathogenesis of HIV

A

Attachment - Endocytosis - Uncoating - conversion of viral RNA to DNA with the help of Reverse transcriptase - viral DNA transported to nucleus (Vpr) - Integration of viral DNA with host DNA mediated by Integrase enzyme - Transcription (RNA formation) - Protein synthesis - new viral particles formed - Release (by Protease enzymes)
