  • CD4 T-cells (a type of white blood cell) are important to your body's defence against infections. This animation describes how your immune system is weakened by the HIV virus, which targets CD4 T-cells and leads to their gradual decline in number. Low to very low levels of CD4 cells put you at risk for 'opportunistic infections' that take advantage of the body's weakened immune system.

      Seriously. It is not worth the risk at all. Also, many people may not be aware of their STIs when they are in the initial stages. This way they can pass them on to others. Even though medication has been developed for many, it is just a pain and mental agony to catch and live with any STI.

    this is part objective fact and part statistical correlation/hypothesis. on a side note CMV is usually presented as mono

      +thomas underhill I appreciate your comment but ultimately I can't tell if you're correct because you didn't post any areas where this video is inaccurate, other than the "CMV usually presents as mono" thing

      lol since ive received so many notifications from this post via spammers i realized i never replied. the problem i have with this video is that it implies that diseases correlated with hiv infection have a causative relationship. that and the underlying pathophysiology is wrong, HIV does not kill T-cell via resource deprivation/budding like the flu does, it activates a massive inflammatory cascade that kills off T cells in the lymph nodes (hence the swollen glands as a symptom) and this does not take " 10 years" to manifest itself, that was a biased estimate used based off of samples in the 80s with SHIT control groups. additionally many of the diseases involved like i said are correlative relationships due to having a decreased cd4 t cell count and do not reflect a causative relationship with a direct underlying mechanism for example some patients with HIV will never develop any cancers or hep c, really the only things that should be listed should be opportunistic infections and even that mechanism inst perfectly understood.

    I'm still confuse, how the HIV occurred? Is it the same as cancer, because cancer will still happened to the person with good health habit ( daily workout, healthy food diet, etc )

      May have spread from monkeys or a laboratory? We will never know, it is a virus which mutates very fast in an infected person

    Better wear that condom during sex... It also helps to limit the number of sex partners you have (not be promiscuous). A lot of cases of HIV transmission are a result of meth fueled sex parties... NOT ALL... but there are quite a few that are!!!
