This virus enters host cells via (*) CCR5 and CD4.
This pathogens' tropism is determined by the Trofile assay, and the four stem-loop structure of this pathogen's genome is called the psi packaging element. Lamivudine and nevirapine are used to treat infections by this pathogen. This pathogen's spike proteins are made up of gp120 and gp41. Like many lentiviruses, this virus has a protein coat made of p24. This virus enters host cells via (*) CCR5 and CD4. Zidovudine mitigates the spread of this virus by inhibiting its reverse transcriptase, and is also called AZT. This virus infects Helper T cells of the immune system. For 10 points, name this retrovirus that causes AIDS.
