On the other hand, cells infected with HIV are often consumed by E. histolytica. Infective HIV remains viable within the amoeba, although there has been no proof of human reinfection from amoeba carrying this virus. [24] A burst of research on viruses of E. histolytica stems from a series of papers published by Diamond et al. from 1972 to 1979.
HIV/AIDS has become a chronic rather than an acutely fatal disease in many areas of the world. [203] Prognosis varies between people, and both the CD4 count and viral load are useful for predicted outcomes. [32] Without treatment, average survival time after infection with HIV is estimated to be 9 to 11 years, depending on the HIV subtype. [6]
