Best Answer

HIV is a sickness that kills the helper T cells (keep memory of what a sickness does and how to kill it). We normally have about 1000 helper T's, but when we get below 400, we get AIDS, Wich makes us vulnerable to get sick very easily, and with no helper T's to keep track of how to kill the sicknes, the sickness kills us.
