What Are HIV and AIDS? - Avert
HIV is a virus that gradually attacks the immune system, which is our body's natural defence against illness. If a person becomes infected with HIV, they will find it harder to fight off infections and diseases. The virus destroys a type of white blood cell called a T-helper cell and makes copies of itself inside them. T-helper cells are also referred to as CD4 cells.
