Question
Chapter 25.L2, Problem 5CT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
- A plausible series of events that could explain how HIV came to be so widespread.
- The reason for discrepancy between the total number of reported cases of AIDS and the projected number of cases estimated by health authorities.
- An outline of the strategies of anti-HIV drugs and their effects as correlated with the virus cycle, using figure 25.15 and table 12.6 as references.
Introduction:
HIV is a significant human viral pathogen, that affects the immune cells in the body and causes immune deficiency.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the use of the following viruses as vectors
a. Retroviruses b. Adenoviruses c. Adeno-associated viruses
Discuss the possible mechanisms by which HIV causes a long-term chronic infection, whereas Ebola infection is acute and often rapidly fatal.
Identify the statement that does not provide accurate evidence as to why HIV is so lethal.
a.
During the course of infection, HIV increases immune activation by altering intestinal physiology to let more microbes into the blood supply.
b.
Immune evasion increases in many infections due to HIV virions evolving new and unrecognizable epitopes (antigens).
c.
In many individuals the virus population evolves to use different receptors to gain access to a greater diversity of host immune cells.
d.
HIV causes enhanced replication and proliferation of T cells, which allows the immune system to work better at defending against pathogens.
