The HIV virus is a particularly troubling virus because it attacks the very cells that are responsible for protecting us from disease.
Once the HIV virus enters the blood stream, it specifically targets a group of white blood cells known as CD4+ T cells, or T-cells.
HIV enters the CD4 cells, uses them to make copies of itself, and ultimately destroys the CD4 cell. Over time, the virus will destroy enough CD4 cells to render a person's immune system non-functional.
When a person's immune system becomes depleted, it can no longer protect the body from infection. This means that the person will more easily get sick.
Furthermore, the body become susceptible to "oppoprtunitistic" infections--infections that the bodily would normally fight off, but now cannot due to a compromised immune system.
