Once the HIV virus enters the body, it seeks out specific white blood cells called CD4 T-helper cells. It than begins the process of entry and replication using the mechanism of the CD4 cells.
This allows the virus to multiply and grow. In time, the HIV virus will overtake and destroy all CD4 cells which the body needs as a defense against illness. The destruction of CD4 cells makes the body vulnerable to opportunistic infections, thereby causing illness in those infected.
