HIV and the immune system
We know that HIV attacks the immune system, but what is a virus and why this particular virus so unique? |  | How HIV infection begins
The HI virus is very clever and very cunning, once inside your body, it "hijacks" the cells that manage your immune system and slowly builds up a reservoir of inactive viral cells that lie in wait. | | The interaction between viral load, CD4 cell count and disease progression
The "dance" between CD4 cell counts and viral loads can predict how fast or slow the final stages of Aids kick in in an HIV positive patient, but what are they and what role do they play in the progression of HIV/Aids?
