SABER College The Human Immunodeficiency Virus Discussion

• Identify properties of viruses, characteristics, viral nucleic acids, and life cycle of animal viruses. (You can help yourself to answer this question by reading the PowerPoint in the Modules here in Canvas Chapter 5 Viral structures and multiplication, pages 8-10, 14, 18, 20, 21, 26, 27, 41-44.)
• Pick one virus ( HIV, COVID-19, Influenza, Herpes, Smallpox, Rotavirus, or any other you may have heard of) and research about that virus: characteristics, how does it enter the human body, and how does it affect the human body and if it is any prevention and treatment for it.

When doing research online, make sure you search for more than one source and write the reference of your sources in your work

Discussion Expectations:

The minimum requirements for class discussions are to respond directly to the discussion prompt and to respond to at least two other posts, by other students or the instructor, by the end of the week. The discussion will close on the due date and will NOT be reopened for a late submission.

Submit one main post responding directly to each part of the discussion prompt(s) by Wednesday at 11:59 PM ET.

This should be a substantive response (between 75 -150 words minimum) to the topic(s) in your own words, referencing (using APA format) what you have discovered in your required reading and other learning activities.

You may use resources in addition to your textbook that support your post(s); however, you must mention the source(s) that you used in your post(s) using APA format in-text citations and reference lists.
