1- attachment of gp120 then expose more receptors for more powerful binding
2- adsoption (fusion) aka uncoating
3- DNA provirus 
4- integration
5- transcription
6- full transcript or 
7- genomic RNa or subgenomic(mRNA) that will form the proteins

Q

Pol gene will give 3 proteins list them

A

PR for protease
RT for reverse transcriptase ( RNA by RT will become ssDNA, double helix of DNA and RNA , RNAse activity then polymerase activity and it will become a dsDNA be taken to nucleus)
IN for integrase ( integrate ds DNA, let it become a provirus)

17
Q

Gag gene will give 4 proteins list 2 of them:

A

MA (matrix p17)

CA (capsid p24)

18
Q

LTRs in the genome are responsible for the —— and will attract the —– for ——
And even if this part of DNa is not active it will become active.

A

Attacment of this genome to the host genome
Host cell machinery
Transcription (act as promotor)

19
Q

T or F

Rev, tat, vpr vif vpu nef are found in all retroviruses

A

False only in HIV

20
Q

Tat:
Role of tat:
Other genes(eg. Rev,vpr) role:

A

Transactivator
Activates the expression (amplification of the transcription)
Downregulation of CD4 receptor count on surface of cell (inrocognizable by immune system)

21
Q

T or F

Once the integration of Viral DNA happens it will stay forever

A

T (persistent infection)

22
Q

T or F

Antiretroviral tx can help against the latency of the virus

A

False

23
Q

T or F

HIV causes immune dysregulation presented by anergy before immunosuppresion

A

True

24
Q

MOT of HIV
1-
2-
3-

A

Sexual relations (penetrative or not)
Contaminated blood
Transplacentally

25
Q

The most efficient transmission of HIV is thru—–

A

Direct blood

26
Q

Why MSM has a higher risk of getting infected with HIV?

A

Because usually during anal sex the rectum is not lubricated as the vagina which will predispose it to microscopic cuts that will transmit the HIV

27
Q

Why oral sex have lower risk of infection with HIV?

A

Because usually saliva kills HIV virus unless the reciever has a dental extract or a small cut.

28
Q

T or F

Sexual or any body fluid on a wound will have 60% risk of infection

A

False

100% will be infected

29
Q

T or F

Risk of getting HIV without presence of wounds is 13%

A

False

0.5-3 (awal she helu byehke l dr)

30
Q

Steps of infection:

A

1- primary infection
2- dissemenation to the nearest LN then to all LN in a latent phase inside the T4 or macrophages (this stage is the first in case of blood transfusion)
3- clinical latency (2-10 years) (if i do elisa or pcr i should detect it) ( the virus is killing T4 slowly)
4- elevated expression of HIV
5- clinical disease ( production cycle of viral replication)

31
Q

T or F

The risk of women getting HIV from a HIV+ man is higher than a man getting HIV from HIV positve woman

A

Yesss
Because vagina have mucosa(more dendritic cells but not more than that in rectumi.e MSM is more risky) while the penis is covered by skin.
All cases can be solved by remembering this anatomy

32
Q

Highest risk of getting HIV is between—— while the lowest is ——- but the full risk is ——

A

Man to man
Woman to woman
Through blood

33
Q

T or F

Uncircumsised males have lower risk of getting HiV

A

False

Higher because they have more mucosal cells

34
Q

T or F

We can easily recognize the primary infection of HIV from EBV and CMV

A

False

It’s hard

35
Q

After 2 months of infection CD4 count will—– while that of viral load will—– till —–(number)
T4 count will decrease till —– this is the depletion of T4
Below—– this is AIDS (aydez)

A 
Decrease 
Increase

36
Q

CMV can cause —— in AIDs stage
Candida can cause——
Herpes can cause——

A

Retinitis
Esophageal candida
Esophageal ulcers

37
Q

Case of the man with anal ulcer with HIV but taking his medication 🥹
We treat him as a normal patient
It’s mostly the case of dehydration and constipation

A
38
Q

Stage 3 of HIV infection have a T4 count of ——– with a clinical evidence of ——

A

200

Documentation of AIDs defining conditions or indicators (eshya khasa bas bl HIV)

39
Q 
T or F
Seborrhoeic dermatitis 
Angular chelitis
Papular pruritic eruptions
Fungal nail infection 
Are found in HIV patients always
A

False
