Memory B cells are formed following primary infection and are important in antibody-mediated immune response in the case of re-infection. The response is very rapid. This is also known as a secondary immune response.

Why do aids leave us unable to cope with infections or cancerous cells?
When someone has AIDS there adaptive immunity (the immunity that remembers previous infections) is severely compromised. The adaptive immunity is responsible for remembering previous infections and dealing with them. Since the immune system is so weak and has a bad memory of previous infections it takes a much longer time for your body to defend against new pathogens along with previous pathogens that your body currently has and is no longer able to manage.

What does it mean for an adult to have high levels of the chickenpox virus in their blood?
It is not normal to have a test to detect the level of chickenpox virus in your blood. There is a high level of chickenpox virus in your blood early in the infection. I suspect that you're asking about chickenpox antibody levels in your blood. High levels of antibodies to varicella zoster virus indicates immunity, whether through previous infection or through vaccination.
