Question
HIV acts by attaching to receptors on the surfaces of T-cells that aid other lymphocytes in fighting infection. Once HIV is inside a cell, its RNA is reverse-transcribed and its product DNA is integrated into the host cell. It then directs the production of new virus particles. As time goes on the number of T-cells

B decreases.
HIV specifically targets and invades CD4 T-cells, which are a type of helper T-cell important for the immune system. As HIV replicates within these cells, it leads to their destruction, resulting in a decrease in the overall number of T-cells over time. This decline can significantly impair the immune system's ability to respond to infections.
