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.
