because hiv virus has  no definte shape so no proper medicine for it and loose their immunity power against diseases and die


vishakha: thanks
zaahidrafiq: Actually the HIV makes the T-Helper cells, which are part of the immune system and with out the help from the helper T cells the other immunoglobulins would not be able to beat the antigen attach. These T- cells in an HIV subject become compromised and would not be able to signal other immune cells to defend against an invading antigen. Hence the over all immunity of the patient gets compromised and as a result even a small infection like cold, sore throat can turn out to be fatal.
vishakha: what is T cells ?? and thankss
zaahidrafiq: T helper cells are a sub-group of lymphocytes (a type of WBC)

THE AIDS VIRUS OR HIV DIRECTLY AFFECTS OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WHICH PROTECTS OUR BODY FROM THE PATHOGENS THUS DIFFERENT DISEASES AFFECTS US THE AIDS VIRUS STOPS THE FUNCTIONING OF THE B LYMPHOCYTES WHICH INFORMS THE T LYMPHOCYTES AND THE WHITE BLOOD CELLS ABOUT THE ACTION OF THE PATHOGENS. IN SUCH MEDICINES ALSO DON'T WORK  

vishakha: thanks
