16
Q

What effect does it have

A

kills and destroys CD4+T helper cells leading to increased susceptibility towards new infections

17
Q

Define a HIV / Virus cell cycle

A

HIV binds to CD4 Receptor + CCR5 co receptor
Virus fuses with the membrane
uncoats and viral RNA enters the Host cell
DNA transcribed
enters nucleus integrating into the host genome
new viral RNA transcribed
new viral proteins produced
assembles at the membrane
budding leads to generation of mature viral particle released from cell

18
Q

How is HIV transmitted

A

Blood
Mucous

19
Q

What routes can HIV take

A

Sex
Mother
NEedle sharing
Blood transfusion
