With the T-cell lymphocyte, HIV basically disarms it and renders it unable to react to infection. Over time, this causes the number of T-cells to drop very low, rendering the person very susceptible to otherwise nominal bacterial, viral and fungal infections.
Well. If you get a cut tcells come to help heal it so you feel all better. tcells are really good for your body. They help out all the cuts you have. Good luck................................... with all your cuts. Dont worry tcells where be there always for all of your cuts. once again GOOD LUCK....................................
HIV-positive. Being HIV-positive means that the individual has been exposed to the virus and their immune system has produced antibodies against it, which can be detected through blood testing. It does not necessarily mean they have developed symptoms of HIV or AIDS.
No HIV is not bacteria or any other organism. HIV is a retrovirus. It infects the T helper cells of human, cause AIDS disease.No, it is a virus.No, it is not a virus.

Bacterial vaginosis can not cause HIV, contracting the virus is what gives people people a positive HIV status. However if you have bacterial vaginosis then you may be more likely to contract HIV if you are having unprotected sex because the normal protective barrier of the skin may be damage by the bacterial infection and therefore more permeable to the virus
Once HIV enters the body's blood stream it immediatly starts attacking the body's CD4 cells or your helper t-cells. An average HIV Negative person has roughly around 1200 tcells per every milimeter of blood. How HIV works is that once it's in the blood stream, the HIV virus is a hundred times smaller than one tcell, and the HIV virus attaches itself to the CD4 cell and it sinks into the tcell and uses the cells RNA to copy the HIV virus up to a billion times in 24 hours. But once the HIV uses the tcells RNA the tcell then become paralyzed and dies, and after HIV and destroyed so many tcells that the numbers drop below 200 tcells per milimeter of blood, the body can not naturely fight off infection, and this stage is what you call full blown AIDS.
Once you are diagnosed with HIV, or when HIV enters the bloodstream, there is no known cure in which it eliminates the HIV virus from the bloodstream. Usually when you are diagnosed the doctor will then take a blood test to see how much of the virus is in your body per milimeter of blood and also how many CD4 cells (tcells) are also in your bloodstream. If the tests come back that there are more than 200 tcells per millimeter of blood, the Doctor may not put you on HIV medications since your body can still fight infection on it's own. If your tcells are 200 or below, your body can no longer fight off infection and he or she will then start you on HIV medications. Depending on what strain of the virus you have, the Doctor can start you on numerous different kinds of medication combinations. Don't get confused that the HIV medications DO NOT cure HIV from your bloodstream, all it does is stop HIV from attaching to your tcells, and stops the virus from duplicating and keeping the virus undetectable. This way the virus is no longer attacking your immune system, but the virus is hiding mainly in the lymphnodes, and if you were to stop taking the antiretrovirus medications, the virus would come out of remission and start attacking the body again.
HIV, like any other virus, can be destroyed by heat or by disinfectant chemicals.
Today, and in foreseeable future - not at all.
diesease such as HIV and AIDS can destroy families
Yes because your immune system can fight and destroy it. Not all viruses can be destroyed. (HIV and AIDs for example)
One of the primary pathogens that destroy T-cells in the body is the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It can leads lead to AIDS.
(t-cells) are involved in cell mediated immunity that can have memory of previous antigens(non self) that have invaded our body. cytotoxic tcells release preforin that destroy tumor cells or antigens helper tcells release cytokines/interlukins that help in more tcell differentiation
HIV invades helper T cells, which then begin to produce HIV soon after their infected. As helper T cells die, the immune system gradually weakens and becomes overwhelmed by pathogens that it would normally detect and destroy.
HIV does not attack brain cells. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks cells in the body that fight infection and are involved with immune function. Confusion and memory loss could result from medications that are taken to treat HIV, or possibly infections resulting from the weakened immune systems of those infected with HIV.
Saliva does contain enzymes and antibodies that can inhibit the HIV virus, but it is not effective in destroying HIV in blood. The concentration of the virus in saliva is significantly lower than in blood, and while saliva may offer some protective factors, it cannot eliminate HIV. Therefore, relying on saliva as a method to combat HIV in blood is not viable. Safe practices and medical treatments are essential for managing HIV effectively.
