HIV disrupts homeostasis in the host by targeting and destroying CD4+ T cells, which are crucial for the immune system's ability to regulate and mount responses to infections. This depletion weakens the immune system, leading to opportunistic infections and diseases that the body would typically control. Additionally, HIV can cause chronic inflammation and dysregulation of various immune responses, further destabilizing the body's internal balance and contributing to systemic health issues. Overall, HIV's impact on immune function creates a cascade of effects that compromise homeostasis.
