What does the HIV virus do once inside the body? The HIV virus invades and kills certain types of cell that are crucial in the prevention of disease in the immune system. More specifically, they target T-helper cells, which are a type of lymphocyte.

When the…

This damages the immune system and reduces the body’s ability to fight off other infections. If left untreated HIV can develop into acquired…
