      1. retrovirus
      2. stages
        1. primary infection
          1. 1 to 3 months
            1. includes window period
              1. period between infection and production of antibodies
                1. 4 to 8 weeks
              2. highly infectious person
                1. HIV RNA copies are very high, CD4 count is low
                2. CD4 count 800-1500/ml
                3. clinical latency
                  1. CD4 count increases, HIV RNA copies decrease
