Yes, lymphocytes are affected by HIV. HIV specifically targets and infects a type of lymphocytes called CD4+ T cells, which are essential for the proper functioning of the immune system. HIV replicates inside CD4+ T cells, leading to their depletion and ultimately weakening the immune response. This makes individuals with HIV more susceptible to various infections and diseases.
