AIDS is defined as: having an intact immune system despite being HIV positive being infected by HIV and another virus at the same time getting opportunistic infections and/or rare cancers due to destruction of immune system HIV goes into latency in host cell being infected by HIV but not showing any symptoms a "latent infection" is best described as: chronic infection in which viral proteins are constantly made chronic infections that usually do have a fatal outcome chronic infection in which viral genes are not expressed and viral proteins are NOT made an infection in which new viruses are made A general term that describes all chronic/long-term infections

Which of the following best matches the description of viral infections: - A viral infection in which a symptomless period with no detectable virus is followed by reactivation of the virus with accompanying symptoms. - An extended viral infection during which the virus can be detected at all times, and the disease may be absent or develop late. - A viral infection during which the virus gradually increases over a long time, during which no symptoms are apparent. - A viral infection of short duration during which the host may either succumb or develop immunity against the virus.
