Quadruple Venti Cap, Hold The Memory Loss

HIV Prof is getting good at analogies.

Last night we start talking about the pieces of the HIV virus that are different than other viruses. Viruses are like little packages, they come with the pieces they need to put themselves together. Of course they can't do it themselves which is why they invade and hijack your cell's assembly mechanism. One of the pieces it contains is called TAT. TAT is an accelerant, it makes your cell replicate the virus efficiently.

HIV Prof: "So you see without TAT the assembly mechanism is like a 60 year old man that has gotten up in the middle of the night, gone to the kitchen to get something but due to memory loss simply gives up, turns around and goes back to bed. Without TAT the virus cannot assemble. Now, with TAT, the virus is like some 22 year old who has just finished a Quadruple Venti Cap from Starbucks. With TAT its like go virus, go!"

LOL, I think I get it ! Thanks HIV Prof!
