HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is generally larger than antibodies. HIV is a virus composed of proteins, RNA, and lipids, with a diameter of about 100-120 nanometers. In contrast, antibodies, which are proteins produced by the immune system, typically measure around 10 nanometers in size. Therefore, antibodies are smaller than HIV.
