HIV stands for  human immunodeficiency virus, it attacks the human body and make your immune system very weak and if you not treat it, it will become AIDS .HIV is spread through a virus and this virus is caused by sexual contact and also by infected blood .HIV virus destroys your T cells in your body and make you so weak.


Many researches made studies that why HIV stays in human body even after antiviral therapy. This is due to CD73 and T cells because CD73 is apparently responsible for the mechanism of cell movement and cell association. And if our body lacks these proteins then our body do not able to make such T cells which fight against HIV  then our body can not fight against the virus .


The backgrounds of HIV have come from a certain chimpanzee in Central Africa. This is a outcome of zoonotic transmission from the primate variety of the virus called simian immunodeficiency virus.




HIV attaches to Helper T cells and merges with the Helper T cells and send the genetic information into the cell. The HIV contains  contains a genome composed of RNA molecule.


Structure of HIV virus:



The HIV virus belongs to Retroviridae family. HIV virus discovered in the year 1983.Is HIV virus enveloped or nonenveloped the answer is HIV virus is enveloped virus. HIV virus effects o immune syetem.HIV virus  genome size is 9.2kb.HIV virus  is a host of helper T cells and HIV is a retrovirus. HIV virus incubation period is less than one month. HIV virus replicates itself i host cell.


HIV virus preferentially infects CD4 cells. The risks of HIV virus  transmission by blood is very low.HIV destroys white blood cells and then weaken the immune system.


HIV virus is the deadliest epidemic of our time .Almost 42 million people are suffering from HIV virus and 22 million people have lost their lives.

  An infective agent that typically consist of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host. u   Latin word u   Meaning poison u   Smaller than bacteria u   Smaller than the smallest cell Can you find the size of viruses? u   The name virus was given by Beijernick in 1898 u   He studied filtered  plant juices and    found that  they caused  healthy plants to    become sick . 1.       Viruses have non- living structures 2.       Non cellular structure 3.       Contain a protein coat called the capsid 4.       Viruses have nucleic acid core containing DNA or RNA 5.       Capable of reproducing only when inside a host cell 6.       Most viruses infect only specific host...

  Green tea has been credited for centuries with significant medicinal properties. Recent studies have confirmed its many benefits, and have attested to the importance of this ancient plant in the longevity of those who drink it often.   Originally from China, where it has been consumed for millennia, green tea did not make its way to the  rest of the world until just a few centuries ago. Unlike other teas, and as a result of being air -dried  without fermentation, it retains its active elements even after being dried and crumbled. It offers meaningful health benefits such as     Controlling cholesterol Lowering blood sugar levels Improving circulation  Protection against the flu Promoting bone health Protection against certain bacterial infectious Protection against UV damage Cleansing and diuretic effects          White tea, with its high concentration of polyphenols, may be even more effective ag...
