    This document discusses HIV and oncogenic viruses. It notes that HIV is a type of lentivirus that can lead to AIDS by infecting CD4 T cells and weakening the immune system. There are two main types of HIV, HIV-1 and HIV-2, with HIV-1 being more prevalent and easily transmitted. The document also provides information on how HIV is believed to have originated in chimpanzees before spreading to humans, its early symptoms, and how it is transmitted between people through bodily fluids.

    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Is one of two species of lent
    virus (sub group of retrovirus)that infect humans
    There are two main types of HIV.HIV1 & HIV2 As well as several
    related viruses that infect certain monkeys or great apes HIV 1 can be
    found throughout the world but HIV2 is almost exclusively limited to
    west Africa both can lead to AIDS but they are very different from each
    other.
    HIV1 is the most common type when you hear the term “HIV” it’s
    probably HIV1
    HIV1 transmitted more easily than HIV2 and his infection more rapidly
    to AIDS.
    HIV1 caused ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCE SYNDROME by
    infected cells of human immune system particularly a kind of white
    blood cells called the CD4 T cells this cells helps in identifying and
    destroying harmful material in the body including bacteria parasites
    viruses and even some cancer cells.
    destroying of CD4 cells leading to weakened immune system certain
    kind of infections severe illness and death the infections are often called
    opportunistic infections(OIS)because they are rare or mild in health
    people but can take advantage of the opportunity provided by the HIV
    weakened immune system and can be life threating without treatment
    average survival time after infection with HIV estimated to be 9 to 11yrs
    depending on the HIV subtype and HIV can damage tissue directly
    causing neurological disease heart disease and other problems.

    virus(SIV) jumped from chimps to humans when people
    consumed chimpanzees meat containing the virus once inside
    the human population the virus mutated into what we now
    know as HIV this likely occurred as long ago as the 1920s.
    HIV spread from person to person thoughout Africa over the
    course of several decades eventually the virus migrated to other
    parts of the world.
