Question

Which cells are destroyed by HIV?

(a) A- helper cells

(b) K-helper cells

(c) T-helper cells

(d) Y-helper cells

This question was posed to me in class test.

This question is from HIV and AIDS in portion Human Population and the Environment of Energy Management

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) T-helper cells

The best I can explain: HIV attacks the immune system, specially the CD4 cells, often called T-helper cells and makes copies inside these cells. As HIV destroys more CD4 cells and makes more copies of itself, it gradually breaks down a person’s immune system.
