Light micrograph of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infected macrophages. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). HIV infects the immune system's T-lymphocytes, ultimately killing them, leading to a very weak immune system. Macrophages are probably a reservoir of HIV in humans and may pass it on to lymphocytes, resulting in active infection. | |
