Which of the following is NOT a complication in development

Which of the following is NOT a complication in development of an HIV vaccine? Virus attacks an important component of the immune system that is needed to create the immune response to the virus Viral proteins do not trigger an immune response. Diversity of the virus throughout the world, or even within a single person Short time from entry of the virus into a human and the virus\' fusion with CD4 cells. Which of the following is NOT a target of current HIV antiviral drugs? Fusion of the virus to CD4 cells The reverse transcriptase that copies viral RNA into DNA Excision of the viral DNA from the human chromosomes. Protease involved in maturation of the viral particle Which of the following is NOT true concerning home testing for HIV infection? It tests for antibodies to the HIV virus The results are expressed as a viral load. It can give many false positives (a positive test when the person is not HIV-positive) It is relatively expensive (about $40)

Solution

Q.No 1

short time from entry of the virus into a human and the virus fusion with CD4 cells

Q.No 2

Excision of the viral DNA from human chromosome

Q.No 3

The results are expressed as viral load

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV attacks the body\'s immunity system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), which help the immune system fight off infections. If left untreated, HIV reduces the amount of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body, making the person more prone to get infections or infection-related cancers. With time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can\'t fight off infections and disease.
