HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV is a retrovirus, meaning that it inserts itself into a cell, then, inserts itself into the DNA of that cell. When the cell is replicated, it will create more infected cells, spreading HIV throughout the body. There are different types of monkeys, apes, and animal species that can be affected by HIV, but humans are also affected by HIV. There are two categories of HIV: HIV-1 and HIV-2. A person can be infected with either form of HIV or both forms of HIV [1]. There are also two categories of HIV proteases: HIV-1 protease and HIV-2 protease. HIV-1 protease is highly researched, while HIV-2 protease is lacking research. This is likely due to the fact that HIV-1 is more transmissible and more likely to lead to AIDS [2]. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome [4]. HIV can cause AIDS. Moreover, HIV-1 and HIV-2 proteases are targets for drug treatments of HIV. Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids [4]. Proteases evolved early in protein evolution playing a role in amino acid creation and catabolism [4]. HIV-1 and HIV-2 proteases are aspartic proteases. Aspartic proteases are proteolytic enzymes in the pepsin family [5]
