Description
Illustration of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. HIV, Human Immunodeficiency virus, is spread through intimate contact with an infected person (sexual contact, shared intravenous needles). HIV invades the T-lymphocyte cells of the immune system, and reprograms the cells to produce HIV. The number of T cells in the body dwindles, the bodies' immune system is destroyed and AIDS develops. Without T cells, AIDS patients have little defense against infection.
