A new disease…

•By the end of 1981, there was a cumulative total of 270 reported cases of severe immune deficiency among gay men, and 121 of those individuals had died.

•In 1983, Luc Montagnier and Françoise Barré-Sinoussi reported the discovery of a new virus (later called HIV) that is the cause of AIDS.

•The first commercial blood test for HIV was licensed in 1985, allowing screening of the U.S. blood supply.

•In 1987 the first anti-HIV drug (AZT) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

•The first potent combination of anti-HIV drugs became available in 1995.

Two of the patients died. All 5 patients had laboratoryconfirmed previous or current cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and candidal mucosal infection”.Morbid. Mortal, Weekly Rep. 30:250-2. 1981.

Virus-AIDS

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Since the epidemic was identified 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.

What is HIV?

To understand what HIV and AIDS are, let’s break it down:

Causative agent:

H – Human – This particular virus can only infect human beings.

I – Immunodeficiency – HIV weakens your immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. A "deficient" immune system can't protect you.

V – Virus – A virus can only reproduce itself by taking over a cell in the body of its host.

What is HIV?

Disease:

A – Acquired – AIDS is not something you inherit from your parents. You acquire AIDS after birth.

I – Immuno – Your body's immune system includes all the organs and cells that work to fight off infection or disease.

D – Deficiency – You get AIDS when your immune system is "deficient," or isn't working the way it should.

S – Syndrome – A syndrome is a collection of symptoms and signs of disease. AIDS is a syndrome, rather than a single disease. It is a complex illness with a wide range of symptoms.

What is HIV?

Human immunodeficiency virus or HIV is a type of virus (from the Latin “virus” referring to poison).

Viruses are:

Small -Generally too small to see with a regular light microscope (20 - 300 nm diameter) If a cell was a football stadium then a small virus would be around the size of a football.

Can only replicate in living cells - Some can survive for long periods of time outside cells, but cannot replicate that way.

Made up of Nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) and proteins -different from protein-only “prions” or nucleic acid-only “viroids”.

Thousands of very different types of virus exist and HIV is a particular type termed a “retrovirus”.

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 of reproducing 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.

http://tcf.epfl.ch/page-20833-en.html

The HIV genome is composed of 9 genes, which encode 15 proteins.

For comparison, the E. Coli bacterium contains around 4,377 genes and the human genome encodes around 21,000 genes.

How does HIV cause disease?

HIV is a virus that infects and destroys cells of the immune system (CD4+ cells).

http://aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/hiv-aids-101/what-is-hiv-aids/

HIV is a virus that infects and destroys cells of the immune system (CD4+ cells).

Approximately 8-10 years

Initial infectionAsymptomatic period

(clinical latency) AIDSOften (not always) accompanied by severe flu like symptoms: Opportunistic infections and cancer:

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is the late-stage HIV disease. This occurs when immune system becomes so damaged that it cannot fight off diseases and certain types of cancer.

HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy): three or more anti-HIV drugs (antiretrovirals) from

at least 2 different classes in combination allows potent inhibition of HIV replication.

Take-home points:

• Structure: – Env is only exposed viral protein in virion (neutralization resistant)– Binding/fusion with host cell is 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– HIV protease activity is needed for generation of infectious virions– accessory genes modulate:

1) cellular function (e.g., nef, vpr)

2) viral gene expression (e.g., tat, rev)– Capsid (p24) represents the primary structural component of virion– small molecule inhibitors of these structure’s functional activity

represent the primary current antiviral therapeutic strategies
