    Study Notes

    Managing HIV Infection

    • Adhering to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the main factor in managing HIV infection

    HIV and AIDS

    • HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) if left untreated or not properly managed

    Impact of Long-term Treatment

    • Long-term treatment can increase an HIV-positive person's life expectancy to near-normal

    HIV Transmission

    • A person with an undetectable viral load has a negligible risk of transmitting HIV sexually

    Initial Impact of HIV Infection

    • HIV infection initially affects an individual's health by weakening their immune system and making them more susceptible to infections

    Reproduction

    • The two forms of reproduction mentioned are asexual and sexual reproduction

    Asexual Reproduction

    • Asexual reproduction results in a genetically identical copy of an organism

    Sexual Reproduction

    • Sexual reproduction typically requires the sexual interaction of two parents, and has a two-fold cost: it reduces the number of offspring and increases the risk of genetic mutations

    Cloning

    • The process of creating a genetically similar or identical copy of an organism is called cloning
