AIDS or Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is caused due to infection by The HIV virus. This virus drastically effects our immune system.
There are two kinds of lymphocytes (antibody realeasing WBC'S):
- B-Lymphocytes- which travel around the body releasing antibodies.
-T-Lymphocytes- which are responsible for fighting infection
The HIV virus infects the T-Lymphocytes and takes control over the genetic material of the body forcing the production of more virus cells. As the host cell dies it produces more HIV viruses which go on to effect other cells of the body.
Slowly the entire immune system of our body is crippled and the body becomes exposed to diseases such as pneumonia and certain cancers>
