This also puts the person at high risk for unusual infections. The new viral DNA is integrated into the host cell's DNA where it governs the production of new HIV virions . A virion is a single virus. The body produces about 10 billion new virions daily, though only about 100 million of them are infectious. The immune system kills and removes the remainder.
Protease helps assemble the new virions.
Protease inhibitors keep protease from doing its job. Back to top Latent HIV HIV doesn t necessarily start replicating immediately upon entering a new host cell. And this is why people with AIDS must take antiretoviral drugs for life. Currently, there is no way to get rid of HIV once it has entered the body. Join a live chat or threaded forum.
