HIV and AIDS Problem Set

Problem 5: AZT, a reverse transcription inhibitor

AZT, a reverse transcription inhibitor, stops HIV reproduction at what stage?

 

A.

Producing viral DNA from RNA

HIV undergoes this reverse transcription stage to convert its genetic material (RNA) into a form compatible with its host's genetic material (DNA). A reverse transcription inhibitor blocks this step, preventing viral reproduction.
B. Translating RNA into protein
C. Producing viral and host RNA from DNA
D.

Integrating viral DNA into host DNA
