All T cells originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Hematopoietic progenitors derived from hematopoietic stem cells populate the thymus and expand by cell division to generate a large population of immature thymocytes. The thymus is an organ located in the upper anterior position of the chest cavity just behind the sternum. The main function of the thymus is to provide an area for T lymphocyte maturation.

How does hiv take over and reproduce in t cells?
The HIV viral cell attaches itself to a T-cell in a lock and key fashion. It specifically targets these cells. Once it attaches itself, it begins the process of entering the cell until it reaches the nucleus of the T-cell. There is goes about converting the genetic structure of the T-cell until eventually, a new HIV cells is produced. In most cases, the T-cell dies in the process. This process is produced millions of times over. This is why it is said that the HIV virus destroys the immune system.
