What is the difference between germ and virus?

Is there a germ or virus that could deteriorate the ability of White Blood cells?

  • is there a virus -that's known so far- that could make WBC useless? i.e. HIV virus And how do that virus penetrate human body and infect human?

  • Answer:

    Do you mean other than HIV? HIV attacks T-helper cells, a type of WBC which assists others, so it effectively destroys the body's ability to fight infection. HIV is blood borne, it is transmitted by sex, blood transfusion/contaminated needles, occasionally through mucosal surfaces such as mouth or eyes that contact infected blood as well as from mother to child through the placenta or breast milk.
