User:Hob/HIV life cycle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The life cycle of HIV is the process by which the human immunodeficiency virus enters various cells of the body and reproduces. As with all viruses, there are three steps to this process: entry to a target cell, replication (using the cell's own genetic machinery), and release of new virus particles. However, many steps can vary depending on genetic variation in the virus and in human hosts.
