Which cells types can be infected by HIV?

The HIV virus specifically targets a white blood cell called the CD4 or T-helper cells. T-cells are among the most important cells in the immune system. They become active when an antigen is present and they are produced in the bone marrow (and from there they go to the thymus gland, hence the "T" designation.) T-cells are trained to respond to a particular target and go on the prowl for its enemy. Normally, we have billions of T-cells in our bodies. However, once the HIV virus starts to attack them, their numbers begin to drop. This weakens our body's ability to fight anything foreign, something that T-cells are specifically made to do.
