Summary
- Viral DNA may either lie latent or be transcribed into mRNA
- Cells containing transcriptionally latent viral DNA are not susceptible to antiretroviral therapy, providing an important mechanism for persistence of infection during antiretroviral therapy
- Transcription and translation of viral genome results in variety of proteins needed for mature HIV to replicate and infect other cells
