protein	A large molecule made up of a series of peptides—one or more long chains of amino acids. The specific sequence of the amino acids determines the protein's structure and function. Proteins are essential to all living organisms.
PHC	protein histocompatibility complex
proteinuria	Excess protein in the urine. Proteinuria is a sign of chronic kidney disease, which can result from diabetes, high blood pressure, and diseases that cause inflammation in the kidneys. Proteinuria can also occur if antiretroviral (ARV) drugs damage the kidneys.
protocol	The detailed plan for conducting a clinical trial. The protocol is carefully designed to safeguard the health of participants and to answer specific research questions. The protocol describes what the trial will do, how it will be carried out, and why each part of the trial is necessary. Each person participating in a clinical trial must agree to the rules set out by the protocol.

protozoan	A single-celled microorganism. Some protozoans can cause disease in humans, including Toxoplasma gondii (causes toxoplasmosis) the group Plasmodium (causes malaria) and the group Cryptosporidium (causes cryptosporidiosis) People with weakened immune systems, including people with HIV, are at a higher risk for protozoan infections than people with healthy immune systems.
Provider Identification Number	PIN
Proviral DNA	HIV DNA that has integrated into the DNA of the host cell. When HIV enters a host cell, HIV RNA is first changed to HIV DNA (provirus) The provirus then gets inserted into the DNA of the host cell. When the host cell replicates, the HIV provirus is passed from one cell generation to the next, ensuring ongoing replication of HIV
