loss or absence of fat, or the abnormal distribution of fat in the body
a virus that carries RNA rather than DNA
an accumulation of lactic acid in the body characterized by abdominal pain, vomiting, and rapid breathing
medications that interrupt the viral replication cycle by inhibiting enzymes that allow the transcribed viral DNA to integrate into the host cell DNA
medications that interrupt the viral replication cycle by inhibiting enzymes that allow the viral RNA to be transcribed to DNA before being integrated into the host cell DNA
medications that interrupt the viral replication cycle by inhibiting fusion of the HIV virus to the target cell
medications that interrupt the viral replication cycle by inhibiting enzymes that allow the viral proteins to be cleaved for reassembly into viral cores
kcalorie-using protein stores in the body
immune cell that is one of the primary targets of HIV for infection
