Question
How HIV multiplies in the host body?
✓

Answer

HIV enters into macrophages and its RNA replicates with the host's cell DNA, so the infected cells produce virus particles and finally act as HIV factory. Now HIV enters into T-lymphocytes to replicate and thus there is a decrease in number of Helper T-cells.
