How does hiv virus reproduce in T cells?

  • Answer:

    HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV is a retrovirus that needs human cells to replicate itself. HIV is covered in receptors that allow it to attach to human white blood cells. After attaching to the cell, the virus "reprograms" the way the white blood cell (or "T Cell") to become what could effectively be called a virus factory. It teaches the cell how to replicate itself.
