HIV prevents the body from maintaining homeostasis by disrupting the body's ability to fight disease.
When a person's immune system is healthy and functioning, it is able to ward off many pathogens, virtually unnoticed. Our skin, saliva, tears, mucous membranes, all parts of the immune system, are effective barriers against many bacteria, virus and other microorganisms.
However, when the immune system is damaged in some way, in this case by the HIV virus, that balance between pathogens in the environment and our ability to fight them off effectively, is destroyed.
Ultimately, the body's immune system is depleted. Disease sets in. The body can no longer fight disease off, and the person begins a decline that will eventually result in death.

How does HIV disrupt homeostasis in the host and body?
HIV disrupts homeostasis in the host by targeting and destroying CD4+ T cells, which are crucial for the immune system's ability to regulate and mount responses to infections. This depletion weakens the immune system, leading to opportunistic infections and diseases that the body would typically control. Additionally, HIV can cause chronic inflammation and dysregulation of various immune responses, further destabilizing the body's internal balance and contributing to systemic health issues. Overall, HIV's impact on immune function creates a cascade of effects that compromise homeostasis.
