Decreased immunity is a symptom of HIV/AIDS. This is caused by which of the following? Select one: a. HIV destroys antigens. This decreases the possibility of recognizing pathogens in the future. b. HIV destroys memory T cells. If the body is infected again, there is no antibodies to fight an infection. c. HIV attacks the macrophages. Pathogens cannot be destroyed once they enter the body. d. HIV attacks the helper T cells. This allows pathogen cells to enter the body unnoticed.
