Stages of HIV Infection
1. 1: Acute infection: flu-like symptoms
2. 2: Clinical latency: slow replication of HIV virus that without treatment may last up to 10 years
3. 3: AIDS: CD4 cells fall below 200 cells/mm3 or development of opportunistic infection
HIV Life Cycle
1. 1: Binding: Virus attachment to CD4 cell
  1. Entry Inhibitors
2. 3: Reverse Transcription: HIV uses cell machinery to convert its RNA into DNA using the enzyme reverse transcriptase
  1. NNRT Inhibitor drugs
  2. NRT Inhibitor drugs
3. 2: Fusion: cell membrane and virus envelope fuses, allowing HIV to enter the cell
  1. Fusion Inhibitor drugs
4. 4: Integration: HIV inserts its DNA into the cellular DNA using the enzyme integrase
  1. Integrase Inhibitor drugs
5. 5: Replication: HIV uses the cellular machinery to make copies of the viral proteins
6. 6: Assembly: As new viral components are made they move to the cellular surface to assemble
7. 7: Budding: Newly assembled viruses push out of the host cell and mature using the enzyme protease
  1. Protease Inhibitor drugs
