Summary Introduction

To answer:

The replication cycle of the HIV.

Introduction:

AIDS is an immune-suppressed state of the host. Many factors destroy the immune cell of the host, which makes entry free for all the pathogens. The immune cells are the body’s defense mechanism that protects against pathogens. When the viral infections like HIV specifically target and destroy immune T cells, the host is defenseless to the opportunistic infections that have been kept under control by the immune cells.
