HIV isn't a very ❌ virus and can't ❌ outside the body for any significant time. It can be passed on only in ❌, such as blood, vaginal secretions and semen, but ❌ saliva or urine. Infection can occur if you have ❌ with someone who is already infected, or if ❌ from such a person enters your bloodstream. For infection to occur, the body fluids have to be transferred ❌ into the body of the next host.

For the infection to occur, the body fluids have to be transferred directly into the body of the next host. This can occur in the following ways:

Selecione uma ou mais das seguintes:

Sharing needles
Unprotected sex. The virus can enter the bloodstream of a partner through breaks in the skin or lesions caused by other infections - usually these infections are other STIs. The use of a condom can prevent this transmission. Infection can also occur via oral sex, though this is rare.
Direct blood-to-blood transfer can occur through cuts and grazes. Police, paramedics and medical staff are particularly at risk from this method of transmission and precautions are taken to minimise the risk.
Maternal transmission from mother to unborn child or in breast milk. The risk of the virus being passed to the baby occurs in the last few weeks of pregnancy, mostly around the birth itself, when mingling of infant and maternal blood is likely to happen. Taking anti-HIV drugs during the last 3 months of pregnancy and giving birth by Caesarean section greatly reduces this risk, from about 20% to 5%. This option is only realistically available in countries with advanced medical care.
Droplet infection - through mucus or saliva suspended in air that has come from the infected person sneezing, coughing or talking.

AIDS stands for . It's caused by infection with the aka HIV. A syndrome is a collection of symptoms related to the same cause, in this case the action of HIV, which gradually destroys parts of the system. The symptoms of AIDS are those of infections to which the patient becomes susceptible as their immune system is weakened.

HIV is a structurally ❌ virus, an example of an ❌ virus. The virus consist of ❌ surrounded by a 20-sided (icosahedral) ❌ (coat) enclosed in a layer of ❌. The ❌ is formed from the ❌ as the new virus particles emerge from the cell cytoplasm. Sticking through the envelope are viral ❌ (gp) molecules.

( HIV, TB ) invades ( T helper cells, B cells ) within the immune system. Glycoprotein molecules, called ( gp120, CD4 ), which are located on the virus surface, bind to the ( CD4, gp120 ) receptors on the surface of the ( T helper cells, B cells ). The envelope surrounding the virus fuses with the ( T helper cell, B cell ) membrane, enabling the virus ( RNA, DNA ) to enter the cell. ( Macrophages, Neutrophils ) also have CD4 receptors, so the viruses can also infect them.

Once inside the host , the virus needs to make the host cell replicate new virus components. HIV genetic material is in the form of not DNA. Therefore the first step is to reverse normal transcription and manufacture DNA from the RNA template. To do this, the virus uses an enzyme called . Viruses that contain RNA and use reverse transcriptase in this way are called . Once the HIV DNA strand is produced, it is integrated into the host's DNA by another HIV enzyme, . Once the HIV genome is integrated into the host cell's genome, it can be transcribed and translated to produce new virus .

The new HIV virus proteins produced, together with ❌ and nuclear material, are assembled into new viruses. The new viruses bud out of the T cell, taking some of the host cell ❌ with them as their ❌, and ❌ the cell as they leave. Infected T helper cells will also be destroyed by ❌.

The Acute Phase:

Selecione uma ou mais das seguintes:

HIV antibodies appear in the blood after 3-12 weeks
HIV antibodies appear in the blood after 40 weeks
The infected person may experience symptoms such as fever, sweats, headache, sore throat and swollen lymph nodes or they may have no symptoms
The infected person may experience symptoms such as dizziness, diarrhoea, tardive dyskenia or they may have no symptoms
There is rapid replication of the virus and loss the T helper cells
After a few weeks, infected T helper cells are recognised by T killer cells, which start to destroy them. This greatly reduces the rate of virus replication, but does not totally eliminate it.

Dormant diseases like TB and shingles can reactivate
Can last for many years
Only lasts a few days

Unfortunately, most HIV infection occurs in ❌ countries with little money available to provide drugs and amongst people who often don't have access to food or ❌ water. These people may develop AIDS within a ❌ years of infection.
