HIV attacks a specific type of immune system cell in the body. It’s known as the CD4 helper cell or T cell. When HIV destroys this cell, it becomes harder for the body to fight off other infections.

When HIV is left untreated, even a minor infection such as a cold can be much more severe. This is because the body has difficulty responding to new infections.

Not only does HIV attack CD4 cells, it also uses the cells to make more of the virus. HIV destroys CD4 cells by using their replication machinery to create new copies of the virus. This ultimately causes the CD4 cells to swell and burst.

When the virus has destroyed a certain number of CD4 cells and the CD4 count drops below 200, a person will have progressed to AIDS.

However, it’s important to note that advancements in HIV treatment have made it possible for many people with HIV to live longer, healthier lives.
