Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Since the beginning of the epidemic in 1981, more than 60 million people have contracted HIV and nearly 30 million have died of HIV-related causes. At the end of 2011, an estimated 34 million people, an estimated 0.8% of adults aged 15-49 years worldwide, are living with HIV. 2.5 million new infections in 2011; 330,000 were children. 7,000 people contract HIV everyday, nearly 300 every hour. In 2011 alone, AIDS claimed an estimated 1.7 million lives, of which 230,000 were children. HIV primarily infects vital cells in the human immune system such as helper T cells (CD4+ T cells), macrophages and dendritic cells. HIV infection leads to low levels of CD4+ T cells. http://www.unaids.org/en/
Viruses Microscopic infectious agents that can infect the cells of a biological organism. Viruses can only replicate themselves by infecting a host cell and are incapable to reproduce on their own. A complete viral particle, known as a virion consists of nucleic acid surrounded by a protective coat of protein called a capsid.

Take-home points: • Structure: • env is only exposed viral protein (neutralization resistant) • infectivity mediated by gp120 & gp41 (CD4 & CCR5 or CXCR4) • RNA genome -- requires HIV reverse transcription to DNA • integration requires HIV integrase • LTR/promoter requires cellular transcription factors • productive viral gene expression requires HIV protease activity • accessory genes modulate: • 1) cellular function (e.g., nef, vpr) • 2) viral gene expression (e.g., tat, rev) • gag (p24) represents the primary structural component of virion • small molecule inhibitors of these structure’s functional activity • represent the primary current antiviral therapeutic strategy
