Aids is caused by HIV, (HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIANCY DISEASE), which attacks the T cell in the immune system. After it latches on to the T cell, it reproduces its DNA inside the cell, then breaks open into the blood stream, tearing the cell and killing it. The T cell is the cell that stimulates the other immune cells and while it is being attacked it manages to contact the other cells to kill off the virus. It takes about 3 to 6 months for the immune system to react to the virus.
