Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HIV specifically targets and infects T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that play a critical role in the immune system's response to infections. The virus uses the T cells to replicate and spread throughout the body, ultimately leading to the destruction of the immune system. HIV does not cause overproduction of B or plasma cells, nor does it invade memory cells.
