It uses one of the main type of immune cells - CD4 cells - to reproduce. The immune response to infection is to produce more CD4 cells, which the virus uses to reproduce even more etc. The immune system initially controls the virus. However, without treatment, usually over many years, the virus slowly wears down the number of CD4 cells. This leaves someone vulnerable to a wide range of serious infections.
