Hey there!
HIV is a serious conditions that impairs your body's ability to fight off infections by attacking the CD4 helper lymphocyte cells. This makes it easier for you to get sick, and your body will not be able to fight off the incoming diseases.
Hopefully this helps!

Answer:

helper T cells

Step-by-step explanation:

HIV attacks a specific type of immune system cell in the body. It’s known as the CD4 helper cell or T cell. When HIV destroys this cell, it becomes harder for the body to fight off other infections.
