To put it simply, HIV attacks or uses some of your white blood cells, specifically CD4+ T-lymphocytes, as "factories" for replication of the the virus. This replication causes the CD4+ cell to die after it has prouced copies of HIV. These CD4 cells are the cell you body would use to attack the virus itself. So essentially, the HIV virus uses your own specific defenses against itself to assure its survival.
