Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HIV attacks and destroys CD4 T cells, which play a crucial role in the immune system's defense against infections. As the number of CD4 T cells decreases, the body becomes more vulnerable to infections and opportunistic illnesses. Eventually, the immune system becomes so weakened that it cannot fight off infections, leading to an increased risk of death.
