HIV prevents the body from maintaining homeostasis by disrupting the body's ability to fight disease.
When a person's immune system is healthy and functioning, it is able to ward off many pathogens, virtually unnoticed. Our skin, saliva, tears, mucous membranes, all parts of the immune system, are effective barriers against many bacteria, virus and other microorganisms.
However, when the immune system is damaged in some way, in this case by the HIV virus, that balance between pathogens in the environment and our ability to fight them off effectively, is destroyed.
Ultimately, the body's immune system is depleted. Disease sets in. The body can no longer fight disease off, and the person begins a decline that will eventually result in death.
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a condition that is caused by HIV (Huma Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. HIV attacks the part of the body that fights disease. The body uses white blood cells to fight infection but HIV needs these cells for reproduction.
HIV attaches to immune cells and reprograms them to become virus factories. When this happens, the cell is no longer able to fight infection. Over the course of time, immune function can be severely impacted to the point of endangering a person's life.
HIV, if untreated, has the potential to affect all body organs.
