Why are antiretrovirals not efficacious in treating H1N1 influenza?
Because H1N1 influenza viruses are not retroviruses. Therefore, they are treated with antivirals instead of antiretrovirals. They are also from different families of viruses. Influenza viruses, like H1N1, are in the viral family called Orthomyxoviridae. Retroviruses are from the viral family Retroviridae. Retroviruses are very different viruses with different methods of replication and, therefore, require different treatment. The influenza viruses and retroviruses are alike in that they are considered RNA viruses. Some people mistakenly think that the R in RNA stands for retrovirus - it actually stands for Ribonucleic acid. (DNA is Deoxyribonucleic acid). While retroviruses and H1N1 are both RNA viruses (instead of DNA viruses), retroviruses are able to transcribe that RNA into DNA, which is what instructs the cells they infect in the viral replication process. H1N1 does not convert its RNA into DNA. The term "retro" in retrovirus refers to this reversal that makes DNA out of the RNA.
How can a person get aids?
For an Individual to have AIDS you have to start by having HIV. Thus an Individual can get AIDS if he/she does not get a treatment ofAntiretroviral drugs when his/her immune system has gone down to 350 or below. Also if the individual is taking the wrong combination of drugs or has developed resistance which is specially caused by non adherence or acquiring another strain or subtype. So HIV if not treated, it developes to AIDS, but nowadays due to research there are Highly Active antiretrovirals to suppress the HIV so it doesn't develop to AIDS.
Do HIV antivirals reduce the rate of HIV infection?
HIV antiretrovirals are intended to help people who are already infected with the HIV virus. Some of the medications help slow down reproduction of HIV viral cells in the body. Others help boost the immune system. A person who is HIV positive will always have the potential to transmit the virus, even if they are on antiretroviral medications. However, taking the medications may make someone less infectious, which would reduce the rate of tranmission of HIV.
