• The Retroviridae are a family of enveloped
(+) sense ssRNA viruses that have been
intensely studied because of their
association with cancers, leukemias and
the AIDS syndrome

Transfer of SIV to Humans
• “Natural transfer” theory (Science 2000)
– SIV was transferred to humans through
hunting and handling of chimpanzees
– The epidemic required urbanization and
increased population mobility
– Most scientific-based theory

Transfer of SIV to Humans (2)
• “Human error” theory (Edward
Hooper,“The River” 2000)
– Oral polio vaccine used in West Africa during
the late 1950s may have been contaminated
with SIV
– SIV has not been recovered from this vaccine
in subsequent studies

Classification of HIV
• HIV class: Lentivirus– Retrovirus: single stranded RNA transcribed
to double stranded DNA by reverse transcriptase
– Integrates into host genome– High potential for genetic diversity– Can lie dormant within a cell for many years,
especially in resting (memory) CD4+ T4 lymphocytes

• HIV type (distinguished genetically)
– HIV-1 -> worldwide pandemic (current ~ 40 M
people)
– HIV-2 -> isolated in West Africa; causes AIDS
much more slowly than HIV-1 but otherwise
clinically similar

Retroviral Proteins• gag, pol, and env
– Gag protein proteolytically processed into• MA (matrix)• CA (capsid)• NC (nucleocapsid)
– Pol protein encodes enzymes• PR (protease) • RT (Reverse Transcriptase which has both DNA polymerase and
RNase H activities)• IN (Integrase)
– Env protein encodes• SU surface glycoprotein• TM transmembrane protein
• “Accessory” genes (in Complex Retroviruses) - regulate and coordinate virus expression; function in immune escape

Viral-host Dynamics
• About 10 (10 billion) virions are produced daily
• Average life-span of an HIV virion in plasma is ~6 hours
• Average life-span of an HIV-infected CD4 lymphocytes is ~1.6 days
• HIV can lie dormant within a cell for many years, especially in resting (memory) CD4 cells, unlike other retroviruses

HIV Evasion Methods
• Makes 10 billion copies/day -> rapid mutation of HIV antigens
• Integrates into host DNA • Depletes CD4 lymphocytes • Down-regulation of MHC-I process• Impairs Th1 response of CD4 helper T
lymphocyte • Infects cells in regions of the body where
antibodies penetrate poorly, e.g., the central nervous system

Pathogenesis of HIV
![Page 21: Hiv vrus](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556eb41fd8b42aa32b8b48d3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Primary HIV Infection• The period immediately after infection
characterized by high level of viremia (>1
million) for a duration of a few weeks
• Associated with a transient fall in CD4
• Nearly half of patients experience some
mononucleosis-like symptoms (fever, rash,
swollen lymph glands) Patient enters “clinical
latency”
![Page 22: Hiv vrus](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556eb41fd8b42aa32b8b48d3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Cells Infected by HIV
• Numerous organ systems are infected by HIV:– Brain: macrophages and glial cells– Lymph nodes and thymus: lymphocytes and
dendritic cells– Blood, semen, vaginal fluids: macrophages– Bone marrow: lymphocytes– Skin: langerhans cells– Colon, duodenum, rectum: chromaffin cells– Lung: alveolar macriphages
![Page 23: Hiv vrus](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556eb41fd8b42aa32b8b48d3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
General Mechanisms of HIV Pathogenesis
• Direct injury– Nervous (encephalopathy and peripheral
neuropathy)– Kidney (HIVAN = HIV-associated
nephropathy)– Cardiac (HIV cardiomyopathy) – Endocrine (hypogonadism in both sexes)– GI tract (dysmotility and malabsorption)
• Indirect injury– Opportunistic infections and tumors as a
consequence of immunosuppression
![Page 24: Hiv vrus](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556eb41fd8b42aa32b8b48d3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
General Principles of Immune Dysfunction in HIV
• All elements of immune system are affected• Advanced stages of HIV are associated with
substantial disruption of lymphoid tissue– Impaired ability to mount immune response to
new antigen– Impaired ability to maintain memory
responses– Loss of containment of HIV replication – Susceptibility to opportunistic infections
![Page 25: Hiv vrus](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556eb41fd8b42aa32b8b48d3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Consequence of Cell-mediated Immune Dysfunction
• Inability to respond to intracellular infections and malignancy– Mycobacteria, Salmonella, Legionella– Leishmania, Toxoplama, Cryptosporidium,
Microsporidium– Histoplamosis– HSV, VZV, JC virus, pox viruses– EBV-related lymphomas
![Page 26: Hiv vrus](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556eb41fd8b42aa32b8b48d3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Transmission
• Modes of infection
– Sexual transmission at genital or colonic
mucosa
– Blood transfusion
– Mother to infant
– Accidental occupational exposure

27
Laboratory Markers of HIV Infection• Viral load
– Marker of HIV replication rate– Number of HIV RNA copies/mm3 plasma
• CD4 count – Marker of immunologic damage – Number of CD4 T-lymphocytes cells/mm3
plasma– Median CD4 count in HIV negative Ethiopians
is significantly lower than that seen in Dutch controls • Female 762 cells/mm3 (IQR 604-908)• Male 684 cells/mm3 (IQR 588-832)
![Page 28: Hiv vrus](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556eb41fd8b42aa32b8b48d3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
HIV RNA Set Point Predicts Progression to AIDS
• HIV RNA viral loads after infection can be used in the following ways:– To assess the viral set point – To predict the likelihood of progression to
AIDS in the next 5 years• The higher the viral set point:
– The more rapid the CD4 count fall – The more rapid the disease progression to
AIDS
![Page 29: Hiv vrus](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556eb41fd8b42aa32b8b48d3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
CD4 T-cell Count and Progression to AIDS
• In contrast to VL, baseline CD4 is not a good predictor of time to progression to AIDS – Unless CD4<321 cells/ml
• However, as the CD4 count declines over time, patients will develop opportunistic infections – Develop in a sequence predictable according
to CD4 count – WHO Staging system
