Detailed explanation-1: -HIV destroys CD4 T cells-white blood cells that play a large role in helping your body fight disease. The fewer CD4 T cells you have, the weaker your immune system becomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -HIV binds to the CD4 molecule on the surface of helper T-cells and replicates within them. This results in destruction of CD4+ T-cells and leads to a steady decline in this population of T-cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -HIV damages B-cells as well as T-cells: new treatment targets identified.
Detailed explanation-4: -HIV destroys CD4 T lymphocytes (helper T cells). Because of this, healthcare professionals measure CD4 levels to monitor HIV progression and AIDS. Helper T cells are crucial for immune system function and activate after encountering antigens from disease-causing microorganisms.
Detailed explanation-5: -HIV destroys CD4 cells (also called T cells). CD4 cells are part of the immune system. They fight germs and help prevent some kinds of cancers.
