Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that infects (and destroys) Helper T Cells. As a result, people who are HIV+ generally have a low number of these T Cells. How would a dramatic decrease in Helper T Cells affect a person’s immune response? Be specific using details from what you learned about the immune response.

If there is no helper T cells, then our immune system wouldn't would be mixed up with our cells because the T cells help differ them so our bodies would be sick often because of it.
