40
Q

What is HIV

A

Retrovirus that affects humans and eventually leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

41
Q

What is the pathology of HIV

A

Destroys T helper cells, macrophages and dendritic cells - thus impairs cell mediated immunity, leaving progressive susceptibility to opportunistic infections and AIDS

44
Q

Describe the replication cycle of HIV

A
