Was magic Johnson hiv in the lytic or lysogenic cycle?

Answer 1

Magic Johnson is a famous Basketball player who was diagnosed with HIV, which is a virus that infects human cells. The lifecycle of HIV involves both lytic and lysogenic phases, but it primarily operates through a lytic cycle in its active replication phase. In this context, when HIV is actively producing new virus particles and destroying host cells, it is considered to be in the lytic cycle.
