How does HIV weaken the immune system?

Answer 1

Alcohol, drugs, smoking, poor diet, emotional stress. over training, UV and radiation, chemical exposure, excess fat, inadequate protein, calorie, vitamin, mineral or water intake In addition, the biological state of aging counteracts immune function, particularly after age of 40.

Answer 2

Actually, immunization makes a healthy immune system stronger for fighting the specific organism in the vaccine (or a very similar one).

Side Note:

There have been isolated incidents (like the vaccine for the 1976 Swine Flu virus) where an unacceptable number, but small percentage, of people who took the vaccine unexpectedly experienced serious conditions (Guillain-Barre Syndrome). They were concerned that the immune system might be affected negatively. It was attributed at the time to the vaccination, but was never studied or proven by any scientific research. The vaccinations today are made an entirely different way with different ingredients and very low incidents or side effects.

Answer 3

Viruses attack cells and make them weaker. After enough cells, you get sick. If they aren't fought off, you would die, but your immune system almost always can. Another thing that makes it weak is unhealthy diets and living. i.e. smoking.

Answer 4
