" HIV in Miami- Dade County"
HIV is the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). You can become infected with HIV through the exchange of blood, semen and vaginal secretions with a person infected with the virus, for example by having sex or sharing needles to inject person. Pregnant women infected with HIV can also pass the virus to their babies during birth or through breast milk. HIV attacks the immune system so the body can not fight germs and diseases. A person infected with the virus in the body leads to the rest of his life.
The human immunodeficiency virus is part of the genre Lentivirus.1 These constitute a group within the family Retroviridae.2 Viruses of this group have common morphological and biological properties. Several species are attacked by the lentivirus, whose main feature is a long incubation period that leads to disease after several years.3 …show more content…
Integrase and other cofactors act to RNA virus to fuse with the cell DNA hospedadora4 through transcription in the genome of the cell harboring the virus. Thus, the cell is infected by the virus. After this process, lentiviruses react one of two ways: it can happen that the dormant virus from the infected cell while still in office, or that the virus begins to replicate actively and release virions capable of infecting other cells.The retrovirus HIV shares with the essential characteristics of that family. The virion contains genetic information in the form of ribonucleic acid (RNA), protected by a membrane envelope. Retroviruses insert their genetic information into the host cell by action transcriptase
