HIV infects cells with structures called CD4 molecules on their surface. These include lymphocytes which fight infection. The virus multiplies rapidly in CD4+ cells destroying them in the process. If HIV goes untreated the number of CD4+lymphocytes eventually fall so low as to compromise the immune system- it is weakened severely.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.) HIV is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk.
HIV uses white blood cells to replicate through a process called reverse transcription. HIV is found in highest concentration in body fluids where these cells are abudantly present.
Once infected, humans produce an antibody in response to HIV infection. This antibody is used to test for the presence of HIV.
As time passses, those who are infected with HIV may have increased difficulty recovering from infections. This happens because HIV will gradually reduce the amount of healthy, disease-fighting cells in the body. When the virus has reduced the amount of cells to a critical level, HIV+ individuals are at risk for developing opportunistic infections that can be deadly. When a patient reaches this stage, a medical provider will likely diagnose them as having AIDS.
Death occurs less frequently with infection as time passes. Generally, if a patient does die from HIV infection, it is because they were no longer able to recover from an opportunistic infection.
There is no immediate effect of HIV on your body once it gets into the bloodstream. It takes from a few hours to a few days to get infected. Once infected, HIV attacks the immune system, making you more susceptible to illness.
it attacks and destroys a certain kind of lymphocyte called helper t-cells that help make antibodies to fight infections
When HIV is first entering the body it is then going to the Immune System.
When you get infected with HIV, the virus enters your blood and gets inside your cells that are floating around
HIV is a deadly virus.When HIV enters your body it attacks and destroyslymphocytes called HELPER T cells that make antibodies fight infections. And eventually the lymphocytes ( HELPER T) gets weaken and the person dies from HIV....
Mainly By Sexual Intercourse .
By being infected with the AIDS virus.
It attacks and destroys a particular kind of lymphocyte called helper T cells.
No it can not go through your skin. If it enters your body possibly.
Symptoms of HIV can not occur in 1 day.
No, AIDS can't occur if partners are hiv negative.
it reproduces
it reproduces
The virus that causes AIDS is HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) HIV infects and affects the body's key component of immunity which is the T-cell This HIV enters the host T-cell and replicates its RNA( Ribonucleic acid ) into the body's DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) leading to the body to produce more HIV virus cell as the T-cell virus replicates and the HIV virus renders the T-cell useless as they try to fight of diseases or even the common flu HIV progresses to AIDS when the T-cell count in the body drops below 200 or any one of the 26 opportunistic conditions which does not occur in healthy people
So small the chance does not even exist. There has to be a trasmission of body fluid which is not likely to occur via scratching.
