HIV can lead to a low red blood cell count, or anemia, primarily through its impact on the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. The virus can directly infect and damage bone marrow cells, disrupting erythropoiesis (the production of red blood cells). Additionally, HIV-related infections, inflammation, and the effects of antiretroviral therapy can further hinder red blood cell production or increase their destruction in the body.
