Description
A microscopic view of human lung tissue showing the effects of HIV infection as it develops into 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. Magnification 50x on negative. Magnification 50x on negative. False color was applied to this image.
