Question

This virus does not conform to the central dogma of molecular biology. Explain the central dogma and how the virus behaves differently.

How should the patient to treated? Can the treatments cure the disease?

The patient is a 29-year-old businessman, who travels extensively in South Africa. He
acknowledged promiscuous behavior with numerous local African girls. A month before
consulting our clinic, he was treated for painful sores on the genitalia. Three weeks later flu-like
symptoms developed, fever appeared, and the patient had an enlarged spleen and lymph nodes.
Weight loss of 24lbs occurred. Several antibiotic courses and malaria treatment had already been
prescribed in western Africa. When seen by us, he was in an unchanged clinical condition and
was severely ill. Blood tests revealed a low CD4 cell count.
