What percent of Americans who attract HIV will get the AIDS virus?
The difference between HIV and AIDS is a number. If you have the HIV virus, and your T-Cell count is below 200, then you are considered (from that point forward, regardless of your T-Cell count) an AIDS patient. That doesn't mean that everyone with HIV will end up with AIDS... but HIV and AIDS are the same thing; the difference is how much damage the HIV virus has done to your T-Cells.
What is the t cell count for someone with AIDS as opposed to someone with HIV?
The dividing line between HIV and AIDS is CD4 count of 200. Anything below is considered AIDS.
Low t-cell count but not hiv?
There are many autoimmune diseases that can cause a low t-cell count. Anything that attacks the immune system can cause problems. Look up Hodgkin s disease.
During the third stage of HIV how much is the T cell count?
well if you wnt to know you shouldnt be on this site

What virus causes AIDS?
The virus that causes AIDS is HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) HIV infects and affects the body's key component of immunity which is the T-cell This HIV enters the host T-cell and replicates its RNA( Ribonucleic acid ) into the body's DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) leading to the body to produce more HIV virus cell as the T-cell virus replicates and the HIV virus renders the T-cell useless as they try to fight of diseases or even the common flu HIV progresses to AIDS when the T-cell count in the body drops below 200 or any one of the 26 opportunistic conditions which does not occur in healthy people
Can HIV attach itself to a muscle cell or a skin cell?
No, HIV cannot attach itself to a muscle or a skin cell because the antigens on the HIV membrane are not complementary to their binding sites. However, HIV can attach itself to a helper T cell because the antigens on the HIV membrane are complementary to the binding sites of the helper T cells.
What happens to HIV when it enters the t cell?
it reproduces
What is the specific blood cell to which HIV is attached is it CXCR4-T or gp120-T or CCR5-T or CD4-T or CD8-T?
CD4+ or T=helper cell.
What happens to t cell once hiv enters them?
They are destroyed.
