 an enveloped,
single-stranded RNA
virus of the retrovirus
family.

25. Treatment of HIV
 Four groups of antiretroviral medications are currently
available
 those that :
 (1) block reverse transcriptase activity,
 (2) act against viral protease,
 (3) block viral integrase,
 (4) interfere with viral attachment to host cells.

26. Prevention of HIV
 Abstinence from sexual intercourse
 Drug abuse
 Monogamy
