A virus is the smallest particle that consists

AIDS

A virus is the smallest particle that consists of a nucleic acid and it attacks your cells just like the Aids virus. They can not replicate themselves it must use a host cell. For instance, if we were to catch a cold our cells would be the host cells. They attach to the host cell and insert their DNA/RNA and then the host cell replicates the virus. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, also known as AIDS, is a virus that is very deadly. There has been more than 700,000





Some people don"tmt have symptoms even when their count is below 200. These host cells cannot be depicted from our other uninfected cells, therefore in order to kill them, we would have to kill our own healthy cells. HIV infection lowers the CD4+T cells in the immune system, in turn lowering white blood cell count. So when you have AIDS and you catch a common cold, you could die because your immune system could not handle it. The way to do this is with the use of a vaccine. Here are some symptoms of AIDS: coughing, shortness of breath, severe headaches, vision loss, weight loss, and extreme fatigue. If the CD4+T count is just above 200, you could experience some early symptoms. AIDS attacks your immune system which is made up of many interdependent cell types that protects your body from bacteria, parasites, fungal, and viral infections also from the growth of tumor cells. We cannot kill the AIDS virus because the virus uses host cells to infect the body. You cannot get it from exchanging saliva. It is mostly spread by sexual activity or by blood transfusions. In young children, they will get pink eye, ear infections, and tonsillitis. So the only logical, efficient way to stop the AIDS virus is to innervate it before it infects our cells.
