History • 1950s: Blood samples from Africa have HIV antibodies. • 1976: First known AIDS patient died. • 1980: First human retrovirus isolated (HTLV-1). • 1981: First reports of “Acquired Immuno- deficiency Syndrome” in Los Angeles. • 1983: Virus first isolated in France (LAV). • 1984: Virus isolated in the U.S. (called HTLV-III and AIDS-Related Virus, ARV). • 1985: Development and implementation of antibody test to screen blood donors
History • 1986: Consensus name Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1), first case in India was detected in Chennai • Related virus (HIV-2) identified • 1992: AIDS becomes the leading cause of death among adults ages 25-44 in the U.S. • 1997: Mortality rates of AIDS starts to decline due to the introduction of new drug cocktails • 2001: World Health Organization predicts up to 40 million infected individuals. More than 22 million have already died.
HIV Virus • RNA virus • HIV-I: A,D: East, West, North, Central Africa B: US, Europe, East Asia, Brazil C: India, South Africa E: Thailand F: East Europe, Brazil HIV-II : West Africa, Brazil, South West Asia Less transmissible Associated with lower viral load , Slower rate of clinical progression Not susceptible to NNRTI, possible PI resistance
HIV Virus Srains • Three groups: "major" group M "outlier" group O "new" group N • Group O - west-central Africa • Group N - discovered in 1998 in Cameroon - is extremely rare • Group M - nine genetically distinct subtypes A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J and K
HIV Viral proteins • gag • pol • env (tat, rev, nef, vif, vpr, vpu) • tev
Life cycle of HIV • Attachment: Virus binds to surface molecule (CD4) of T helper cells and macrophages. - Coreceptors: Required for HIV infection - CXCR4 and CCR5 mutants are resistant to infection • Fusion: Viral envelope fuses with cell membrane, releasing contents into the cell
Life cycle of HIV • Reverse Transcription: Viral RNA is converted into DNA by unique enzyme reverse transcriptase. ‘Reverse transcriptase’ RNA ------------------------> DNA Reverse transcriptase is the target of several HIV drugs: AZT, ddI and ddC. • Integration: Viral DNA is inserted into host cell chromosome by unique enzyme integrase. Integrated viral DNA may remain latent for years and is called a provirus.
Life cycle of HIV • Replication: Viral DNA is transcribed and RNA is translated, making viral proteins. Viral genome is replicated. • Assembly: New viruses are made. • Release: New viruses bud through the cell membrane.

High Risk Groups • Promiscuous heterosexual/ homosexual • Commercial sex worker • IV drug abuser • Spouse of HIV infected • Blood recipient
Transmission of HIV (Worldwide) • Sexual contact with infected individual: All forms of sexual intercourse (homosexual and heterosexual); 75% of transmission. • Sharing of unsterilized needles by intravenous drug users and unsafe medical practices; 5-10% of transmission. • Transfusions and Blood Products: Hemophiliac population was decimated in 1980s. Risk is low today; 3-5% of transmission. • Mother to Infant (Perinatal): 25% of children become infected in utero, during delivery, or by breast-feeding (with AZT only 3%); 5-10% of transmission.
Pathogenesis Viral transmission 2-3 wks Acute retroviral syndrome 2-3 wks Recovery + Seroconversion 2-4 wks Asymptomatic chronic HIV infection avg 8 yrs Symptomatic HIV infection/AIDS 1-3 yrs Death
Immune abnormalities in HIV • Altered cytokine • Decreased CTL and NK cell function • Decreased humoral and proliferative response to antigens and mitogens • Decreased MHC-II expression • Decreased monocytechemotaxis • Depletion of CD4+ cells • Impaired reactions • Lymphopenia • Polyclonal B-cell activation
Epidemiology of HIV • Over 40 million people worldwide are HIV positive • 90% of all HIV infections are in the developing countries • 15,000 people are infected with HIV everyday • More than 22 million people, including 3.6 million children, have died from AIDS since the start of the epidemic • India has second highest number of HIV infected people next only to South Africa
Epidemiology of HIV • Major mode of transmission - Heterosexual • HIV-1 is the predominant serotype • HIV-1 subtype C is the commonest • HIV-2 serotype 4% • Dual infection (HIV-1 & HIV-2 : 10%)
