<span>AZT and other medications that work as reverse transcriptase inhibitors interfere with DNA replication in HIV/AIDS cells, which prevents reproduction of these cells. Though it does not cure this illness, it does interfere with the rapid mutation cycle which, in turn, decreases the amount of illnesses suffered by the patient. This makes it possible for the patient to survive with this virus/disease longer and remain in a relatively healthy state. Though, as already mentioned, the sufferer is still infected and does need to take the proper precautions to avoid spreading the infection.</span>

What two characteristics do fungi lack that forced them to become decomposers
Artist 52 [7]
Fungi are decomposers, they obtain their food from dead organic matters. Fungi obtain their nutrient this way because they can not produce their own food. To produce their own food they need chloroplast in their cells to obtain energy from the sun. And they also need the ability to fix nitrogen which they will incorporate into the food they produce. Because they lack the ability to do this thing, they have to adapt to eating dead materials. <span />
