Explanation:

The HIV virus continuously invades and destroys T-cells (lymphocytes). Eventually the body can't replace the T-cells fast enough, and the immune system deteriorates. When the immune system has deteriorated to the point that it is unable to fight off diseases, a person is diagnosed with AIDS.
