What T-cell is disabled in AIDS?
CD4+ or T-helper cell.
How low do your t cell count have to be to have aids?
200
Which type of cell is destroyed by the AIDS virus?
The T-cells inside of your immune system are destroyed by AIDS
What virus causes AIDS?
The virus that causes AIDS is HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) HIV infects and affects the body's key component of immunity which is the T-cell This HIV enters the host T-cell and replicates its RNA( Ribonucleic acid ) into the body's DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) leading to the body to produce more HIV virus cell as the T-cell virus replicates and the HIV virus renders the T-cell useless as they try to fight of diseases or even the common flu HIV progresses to AIDS when the T-cell count in the body drops below 200 or any one of the 26 opportunistic conditions which does not occur in healthy people
What percent of Americans who attract HIV will get the AIDS virus?
The difference between HIV and AIDS is a number. If you have the HIV virus, and your T-Cell count is below 200, then you are considered (from that point forward, regardless of your T-Cell count) an AIDS patient. That doesn't mean that everyone with HIV will end up with AIDS... but HIV and AIDS are the same thing; the difference is how much damage the HIV virus has done to your T-Cells.
The subpopulation of T lymphocytes that is attacked by the human immunodeficiency virus HIV in AIDS victims is the?
helper T cell
What is the t cell count for someone with AIDS as opposed to someone with HIV?
The dividing line between HIV and AIDS is CD4 count of 200. Anything below is considered AIDS.
The last stage of AIDS is when a persons t cell count is 200 or less?
There is no such thing as a "last stage" classification of AIDS. In the United States, a person is given and AIDS diagnosis if their cell counts drop below 200, but it is not classified as "last stage."
HIV causes AIDS as the result of what?
The HIV virus is a virus that attacks someone's immune system, more specifically, the T-cell. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or the acquisition of a weakened immune system. By destroying your T-cells, HIV causes AIDS.
What determines the onset of AIDS in an HIV-infected person?
The helper T cell count becomes very low
What determines the onset of AIDS in an hiv infected person?
The helper T cell count becomes very low
What happen to people who contact aids?
Their white blood cell and t-cell count will continue to drop until a disease comes and wipes them out since they are unable to produce enough white blood cells to counter the disease. when your immune system becomes compromised, like when your cell counts drop, you get a opportunistic infection, any infection really. that is what you die from. AIDS does NOT kill you.
