HIV is a retrovirus that destroys CD4 cells and therefore their counting indicates the progression of AIDS disease.

<h3>What are CD4 cells?</h3>

CD4 cells are T helper cells of the immune system that contain specific receptors on the cell surface.

The T helper cells are CD4 positive because these immune cells have CD4 glycoprotein receptors on their cell membranes.

These cells are destroyed by the HIV retrovirus during the lytic cycle of this virus and therefore it affects our immune system.

In conclusion, HIV destroys CD4 cells and indicates progression of AIDS disease.
