What effect would you expect AZT to have on the number of T cells in an HIV-infected person's blood and immune system overall?
AZT (azidothymidine) is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor commonly used in the treatment of HIV infection. It works by inhibiting the replication of the virus in infected cells. Consequently, AZT treatment can lead to an increase in the number of T cells in an HIV-infected person's blood. This occurs as the virus's replication is suppressed, allowing the immune system to recover and produce more T cells. Therefore, AZT can have a beneficial effect in restoring and strengthening the immune system of HIV-infected individuals.
If viruses that normally form envelopes were prevented from budding would they still be infectious?
No it is not infectious when they lack their envelope. In case of HIV, we produce virus with pseudotyped virus for single replication cycle. If we do not add the genes for envelope, their may be particle produced but they can not infect the target cells.
Can HIV leave the body?
No, there are no known cases of complete HIV remission.
Someone whose blood contains antibodies to HIV is said to be?
HIV positive
Is HIV a eukaryote?
No, HIV is not a eukaryote.HIV is a Lentivirus, which is a type of Retrovirus, belonging to the family Retroviridae.
What are the steps for HIV replication in order?
Viral entry-Reverse transcription-Nuclear import-Integration-Assembly and budding-Maturation
What is time span for HIV replication?
2.5 days
How do you prevent replication of HIV?
hiv replication can only be reduced with a common therapy known as HAART. highyly active antiretroviral therapy.. this is a therapy that tends to slow down the replication of hiv. note: it can be reduced or stopped from replicating but it is not definitely prevented because it tends to fight the CD4 cells
Which of the following lists the steps of HIV replication in the correct order?
HIV binds with the CD4 protein on the surface of the T4 lymphocyte. The HIV fuses with the T4 lymphocyte. Viral RNA (ribonucleic acid) and reverse transcriptase enter the target cell. Reverse transcriptase produces viral DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) from the viral RNA. Viral DNA enters the target cell's nucleus and splices into the target cell's DNA. The target cell uses the information on the viral DNA and produces the pieces needed for building copies of HIV. The pieces are assembled into new copies of HIV. This process uses an enzyme called protease. Copies of HIV are released from the target cell in a process called budding.
Are there treatments for HIV?
There are treatments for HIV but no cures. There are a number of antiretroviral medications that prohibit viral replication and can delay the effects of HIV or its associated infections and conditions (like AIDS).
Antiviral drugs can reduce the effects of HIV by?
Blocking HIV replication. Lol. Working on online Lifetime Wellness homework?
What is the correct name for HIV?
HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is the correct term for the virus. AIDS, or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is the correct term for the condition that HIV develops into.
Is anything being done about AIDS?
There have been advances in medicine that are effective for HIV/AIDS. Education about HIV/AIDS teaches people about it and steps to take in order to protect yourself from getting it.
Can you have symptoms of hiv and it not be hiv at all?
You are correct. The early symptoms of HIV infection are like the flu.
Is HIV able to make copies of itself without the aid of another organism?
No HIV, like all viruses lacks the machinery for self replication. Viruses instead must infect a host cell and hijack the cell to make more viruses. In the case of HIV, it must infect a living human cell in order to copy itself.
Is it true that if you are infected with AIDS then you have HIV?
Correct...HIV can lead to AIDS and AIDS can only be caused be the HIV virus.
What is HAART?
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is a treatment for HIV that combines several drugs to reduce the rate of virus replication. HAART can effective in protecting against complication of HIV like AIDS and cancer, but it is not a cure for HIV.
