HIV reduces your ability to fight infection because it attacks your CD4+ also know as your T-cells. Your body is at a constant struggle to keep your body healthy by fighting against infections. The T-cells are like the Generals in this war. They tell other soldiars (B-cells,) whats to do in this war against HIV and other infections. HIV enters the T-cells, and become "HIV factories". More HIV is released into the bloodstream to enter more T-cells. Eventually, the T-cells die, and HIV starts winning the war. Your immune system doesn't work anymore because there aren't Generals (T-cells) telling the soldiers what to do.
