Medicine | The retrovirus implicated as the cause of AIDS. The names " lymphadenopathy-associated virus"(LAV)and "human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III"(HTLV-III), and the combined abbreviation LAV/HTLV-III, should no longer be used. The recommended name should preferably be written out in full on its first occurrence in a given text, thus:" human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)"; the abbreviation alone may be used thereafter. It should be noted that, whereas "immune deficiency" has become usual in the full title of AIDS(q. v. )as given in British English, the more Latinized, scientific formulation "immunodeficiency" continues to be used in relation to the virus.

 | A crystal of the drug, 2',3'-dideoxyinosine (ddi), is shown. The antiviral activity of ddi against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-I) was identified at the National Cancer Institute in 1985. Credit: Dr. Hiroaki Mitsuya, Larry Otsby (photographer). |  | The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-I) enters the T-lymphocyte where the virus loses its outer envelop, releasing its RNA and its reverse transcriptase. The reverse transcriptase builds a complimentary DNA strand from the viral RNA template. The DNA helix is inserted into the host genome. When this is transcribed by the infected cell, the new viral RNA and proteins are produced to form new viruses that then bud from the cell membrane, thus completing the life cycle of the virus.
