1. Acute 
2. Clinical Latency
3. AIDs]]> 2018-02-16 22:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/v_o_howieson/4z1a2ezcthu9/wish/232526685 v_o_howieson https://padlet.com/v_o_howieson/4z1a2ezcthu9/wish/232526904 2-4 weeks after becoming infected these symptoms are very likely to occur 

fever, swollen glands, sore throat, rash, severe vomiting, muscle and joint aches and pains, and headache

-highest risk of transmission
-need to start ACT ASAP
-uses T-cells to replicate and destroys them in the process]]> 2018-02-16 22:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/v_o_howieson/4z1a2ezcthu9/wish/232526904 v_o_howieson https://padlet.com/v_o_howieson/4z1a2ezcthu9/wish/232527378 -the virus is living within the person without showing symptoms, or very few 
-continues to reproduce at low levels

(normal is about 600-1500 T cells per cubic millimeter)
-without treatment life expectancy falls to 1-3 years

It does this by transcribing its RNA into the DNA of the host cell. After this occurs, the cell will translate and transcribe viral genes along with its own. Once a cell is infected, it becomes a factory for producing copies of the virus.]]> 2018-02-19 16:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/v_o_howieson/4z1a2ezcthu9/wish/232973255 v_o_howieson https://padlet.com/v_o_howieson/4z1a2ezcthu9/wish/232973964 HIV has RNA not DNA, meaning it is retrovirus]]> 2018-02-19 16:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/v_o_howieson/4z1a2ezcthu9/wish/232973964
