HIV

Frage 1 von 24

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:

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

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:

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

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.

The Chronic Phase:

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

Sometimes called the 'latent' phase
The virus continues to reproduce rapidly, but the numbers are kept in check by the immune system
There may be no symptoms during this phase, but there can be an increasing tendency to suffer colds or other infections, which are slow to go away
Dormant diseases like TB and shingles can reactivate
Can last for many years
Only lasts a few days

In fit young people with a ❌ lifestyle, the chronic phase can last for ❌ years or more, especially if combined with ❌ treatment. 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.

Eventually, the increased number of viruses in circulation () and a declining number of T helper cells indicates the onset of AIDS, the phase. The decreased number of T helper cells leaves the immune system vulnerable to other diseases. These are known as , which can rapidly be fatal. They often include and TB. There can be significant . Patients can also develop - memory and intellect loss. Also susceptible to tumours, such as . This cancer is readily identified by purple/ black patches on the skin.

HIV can develop ❌ to anti-HIV drugs and therefore these drugs are often given in ❌. If the virus becomes resistant to one drug, it may still be susceptible to the other drugs being taken. Access to antiretrovirals is increasing across the world and with it comes a decline in the number of AIDS-related deaths.
