Basic Biology of HIV & Disease Progression

In addition to finishing the movie and going over the final project, A & E long blocks started class notes on the basic biology of HIV and the disease progression.

Did you know: Because of reverse transcription (RNA--> DNA) the mutation rate in HIV is 1,000,000 greater than that of normal transcription (DNA-->RNA).

How do you think this impacts the creation of treatment for HIV?
