Introduction:

Human immune virus (HIV) specifically targets and destroy the T-cells and causes AIDS. The HIV attaches specifically through the CD4 receptors present on the T-cells, and gain entry into cells, where they replicate and stay as a latent virus. They get integrated with cell’s genome and it is passed to all the daughter cells.
