HIV attacks human immune cells, called T helper cells. Loss of these cells is gradual, often taking many years. It was thought infected cells produced more HIV particles and that this caused the body to activate more T cells which in turn were infected and killed. Modelling by UK and US researchers suggests that, if that was true, cells would die out in months not years.
