HIV Transmission and Characteristics
- ADIS stands for AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) in relation to HIV.
- Human-to-human transmission of HIV primarily occurs in the heterosexually active population.
- HIV transmission from monkeys to humans is primarily brought about through hunting and butchering infected monkeys.
- HIV belongs to the Retroviridae family.
- HIV belongs to the Lentivirus genus, which is significant because it is responsible for slow but progressive infection that leads to immune system failure.
- Human-to-human transmission of HIV occurs primarily via heterosexual intercourse in developed countries.
- Over time, the immune system loses its ability to fight the HIV virus.
- HIV is a retrovirus, meaning it converts RNA to DNA, the reverse of the normal cellular process of DNA to RNA.
