I am assuming that you are asking how a virus lives in the body.
A virus is NOT a live organism. It is able to penetrate the host's cells and duplicate the RNA/DNA within those cells and when those cells replicate, the virus also replicates, thus growing in numbers very quickly.
Viruses are difficult to kill since they are not considered living organisms. One way that might help is to denature the proteins that are living inside the cytoplasm of the virus.

Is shingles a virus caused by skin disease?
Shingles are caused by the varicella virus, the same virus that causes chicken pox. Those who have had chicken pox when younger carry the dormant virus for the rest of their lives. Should the virus "reactivate" in an adult, the result is shingles.
What do you call a cell that has been infected with a virus?
It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.

What is the differences between a virus a host and a parasite?
