Red blood cells keep you alive by carrying oxygen to other cells in the body and they carry carbon dioxide away from the cells of the body. White blood cells help the body fight infection, kill germs, bacteria and dead blood cells. They also fight pathogens.

Red blood cells are primarily responsible for carrying oxygen to tissues and removing carbon dioxide from the body, while white blood cells are a key part of the immune system and help the body fight off infections and foreign invaders. Red blood cells lack a nucleus, while white blood cells have a nucleus and can be further categorized into different types based on their functions.

White blood cells are the one that protects you from harmful cells, viruses etc. They are (you can say) the army of the Immune System.(AIDS: The HIV Virus attacks your immune system, so that is why it was called: Acquired Immuno Deficiency syndrome. It is not the most scariest, it's the diseases that you will likey be impossivle to get, but no you got it part the is the most scariest part(meaning no defense against the harmful cells) and red blood cells carry oxygen in your blood(*Red blood cells don't have cell nucleus).
