You CAN contract HIV despite your ABO or RH blood type.
Can HIV attach itself to a muscle cell or a skin cell?
No, HIV cannot attach itself to a muscle or a skin cell because the antigens on the HIV membrane are not complementary to their binding sites. However, HIV can attach itself to a helper T cell because the antigens on the HIV membrane are complementary to the binding sites of the helper T cells.
Is HIV a eukaryote?
No, HIV is not a eukaryote.HIV is a Lentivirus, which is a type of Retrovirus, belonging to the family Retroviridae.
When human immunodeficiency virus HIV attaches to a host cell what genetic material is released into the cell's cytoplasm?

There are two species: HIV-1 and HIV-2. AIDS is not a type of microorganism, but rather, an effect of HIV infection. A person is considered to have AIDS when their CD4+ (a type of white blood cell) count is below 200 per µL of blood.
What virus causes AIDS?
The virus that causes AIDS is HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) HIV infects and affects the body's key component of immunity which is the T-cell This HIV enters the host T-cell and replicates its RNA( Ribonucleic acid ) into the body's DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) leading to the body to produce more HIV virus cell as the T-cell virus replicates and the HIV virus renders the T-cell useless as they try to fight of diseases or even the common flu HIV progresses to AIDS when the T-cell count in the body drops below 200 or any one of the 26 opportunistic conditions which does not occur in healthy people
