When a typical virus infects a host cell, the latter ultimately dies. The virus first enters the host cell and then uses the cell's organelles to replicate itself. Eventually the host cell ruptures, spilling new viruses into the host's bloodstream. However, there are some viruses that don't kill their host cells.
