Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus type virus that infects cells of the human immune system (especially CD4 positive T-cells and major components of the cellular immune system), and interferes with their function. This viral infection results in a continuous decline in the immune system, which will result in immune deficiency. People who are immune deficient/immunodeficiency become more susceptible to various types of infections.
