When HIV enters a person's bloodstream, it targets and infects CD4 T cells, which are crucial for the immune system's function. The virus integrates its genetic material into the host cells, leading to the gradual depletion of these immune cells. This process weakens the immune system over time, making the individual more susceptible to infections and diseases. If untreated, HIV can progress to AIDS, where the immune system is severely compromised.
