Because your immune system is literally at war with the virus that invaded it.
It's a good analogy because it accurately describes what is happening. The "invading" HIV virus goes on the attack and target specific blood cells called CD4 or T-helper cells. CD4 cells are crucial to your body's defense system. If they are compromised or destroyed, the body is left unable to protect itself from disease.
Why is the body's response to HIV described as a "war"? i really need to know!!!

HIV reduces your ability to fight infection because it attacks your CD4+ also know as your T-cells. Your body is at a constant struggle to keep your body healthy by fighting against infections. The T-cells are like the Generals in this war. They tell other soldiars (B-cells,) whats to do in this war against HIV and other infections. HIV enters the T-cells, and become "HIV factories". More HIV is released into the bloodstream to enter more T-cells. Eventually, the T-cells die, and HIV starts winning the war. Your immune system doesn't work anymore because there aren't Generals (T-cells) telling the soldiers what to do.
A "splendid little war"
