HIV THERAPY ONLINE COURSE

Here is a link to an online course about HIV (presented by GeneEd, a company which writes online training courses for life-science professionals). The course is very well presented and is actually quite easy to understand; I think that most people would actually enjoy it, especially if they are "visual learners". The slides are animated yet not cluttered or confusing, and the course is easy to follow.

Learning topics include:

• What is HIV? (HIV viral structure, HIV viral life cycle)
  
• How Does HIV Affect the Body? (HIV and the Immune system)

In order to understand what effects HIV has on the body, it is important to understand the virus itself- what makes HIV unique and what gives it the ability to integrate itself into the immune system. In order to understand how the antiretroviral medications used to treat HIV actually work, it is essential to first understand how the virus replicates and infects the CD4+ (T-cells) lymphocytes. This course provides an easy-to-understand base for that knowledge.
