Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attacks the CD4+T cells, which are basically your immune system. which prevent you from infections
HIV or Human immunodeficiency virus does not really attack anything but aids which is the disease it leads to does. Aids attacks the immune system which causes major problems for your body. People who are HIV positive may carry the disease for years before noticing anything.

∙ 14y agoHIV attacks specific white blood cells called CD4 or T-helper cells.
there are no cells that are most likely to be attacked by hiv because hiv is a sexual transmitted disease it can only be transferred if you had sex with someone who have hiv or aids.. that is all i know but i am not sure....

∙ 13y agoHIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.) HIV attacks cells in the human body associated with immune function. These cells are often referred to as T cells or CD4 cells.

The cell most likely to be attacked by an HIV virus is a?
i think the answer is A. Helper T
Is HIV most likely to attack B cells?
No, it attacks the T-Helper cells which are critical in establishing and maximizing the capabilities of the immune system. This is why your immune system becomes weaker when you have contracted HIV/AIDS.
Do people with HIV never get aids?
HIV is an infection that LEADS to AIDS. So, most likely, people with HIV are very likely to get AIDS.
What does HIV most effect?
HIV most affects our immune system especially our T helper cells.
If someone in your class had HIV you would?
You most likely would NOT have the HIV infection.
What human cell is attacked by HIV?
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) seems to only infect the CD4 (or T-helper) cells of the immune system. The CD4 cells are responsible for activating and directing other immune system cells. HIV also infects macrophages and microglial cells that express the CD4 molecule on their surface. The virus can also infect a subtype of myeloid dendritic cells MDC-1.
Where is HIV most likely to be found in the human body?
Blood.
How does treatment stabilize HIV?
There are several types of medication for HIV that are designed to do different things. In essenece, the medications either slow down the replication process of the virus and/or help boost the immune system. This means that the person with HIV will see a drop in their viral count (the number of HIV viral cells in their blood stream) and perhaps an increase in their T-cells (white blood cells that are attacked by the HIV virus). None of the medications kill the virus itself. At best, they are slowing it down, allowing people to live longer.
What race gender is most likely to be diagnosed with HIV aids?
more males than females are diagnosed with hiv/aids
Can HIV cells be found in plants?
HIV cells are not found in plants. Forms of the HIV virus only exist in Primates and Felines.
Is chickenpox a symptom of HIV?
HIV is not a disease. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Chicken pox is not a symptom, it is a disease caused by the varicella zoster virus. I think you mean the rash of chicken pox. Also, AIDS is a disease where HIV viruses attack the T cells of your immune system (only virus to attack immune system). The actual disease doesn't really show. When your T cells are attacked and killed, your body loses the ability to fight a certain disease and people can die from a normal cold because their body is unable to fight it off. So, the symptoms of AIDS can differ because it depends on what T cells were attacked and which dieseases the person is unable to fight off.
What type of cells does HIV attack and destroy?
HIV infects only the CD4 cells of the immune system, and it destroys lymphocytes.
