Identify how the HAART works when used on a patient that has contracted HIV.
A. Entry inhibitors in HAART will prevent the HIV virus from binding to the CD4 receptors on the cell membranes. AZT will interfere with the conversion of viral RNA into the cellular proteins and the integrase inhibitors prevent HIV from inserting its DNA into the host cell.
B. AZT in HAART will prevent the HIV virus from binding to the CD4 receptors on the cell membranes. Inhibitors will interfere with the conversion of viral RNA into DNA and the integrase inhibitors prevent HIV from inserting its DNA into the host cell.
C. Entry inhibitors in HAART will prevent the HIV virus from binding to the CD4 receptors on the cell membranes. AZT will interfere with the conversion of viral DNA into RNA and the integrase inhibitors prevent HIV from inserting its DNA into the host cell.
D. Entry inhibitors in HAART will prevent the HIV virus from binding to the CD4 receptors on the cell membranes. AZT will interfere with the conversion of viral RNA into DNA and the integrase inhibitors prevent HIV from inserting its DNA into the host cell.
E. Entry inhibitors in HAART will prevent the HIV virus from fitting through the protein channels of the cell membranes. AZT will interfere with the conversion of viral DNA into RNA and the integrase inhibitors prevent HIV from inserting its DNA into the host cell.
