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
