This usually results in the death of the CD4 cell.
Simplified Stages:
Binding to surface receptors
Fusion of viral and host cell membranes
Reverse transcription of RNA to DNA
Integration of DNA provirus into the host genome
Replication (Host DNA polymerase)
Transcription (Host RNA polymerase II)
Translation of viral proteins
Assembly of the virus at the host cell membrane
