The virus attempts to take over the host cell's DNA, and if successful, when the host cells divide via mitosis, instead of making copies of a healthy cell, the system produces new copies of the virus infected cell, which leads to an infection.

What does it mean that the cell membrane is selectively permeable?
"Selectively Permeable" means that the membrane can let some molecules through, and it blocks others. The cell can let things in through diffusion (when stuff just floats through the membrane easily), facilitated diffusion (stuff gets in with the help of a transport protein), or osmosis (a certain type of diffusion for water only).
Which part of a cell controls what gets in and out of the cell?
The plasma membrane / cell surface membrane. The phospholipid bilayer prevents certain substances passing straight through, so protein channels and other mechanisms control what does and does not pass in and out of the cell.

What molecule has an important role in limiting what gets in and out of your cells?
The molecule that plays an important role in limiting what gets in and out of cells is the cell membrane. It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer that acts as a barrier, allowing only certain molecules to pass through. The cell membrane also contains various proteins and channels that further regulate the movement of substances across the membrane.

If someone gets their blood on you will you get aids?
Short answer: possibly.First of all, to contract AIDS, the person must be infected with the HIV virus. If the person is infected with the HIV virus (which causes aids) and you get their blood on an open wound, or a mucus membrane such as the mouth, it is possible. If you get some infected blood on normal skin that is healthy, the chances of you contracting the HIV virus are slim to impossible (?).
