What happens to your body when you have aids and got sick?

204 views

Title says it all. If you got AIDS/HIV and got a fever. Will you still feel cold or shivers? I thought that if you got AIDS/HIV you don’t have cells to fight against virus. So I’m guessing your body won’t fight it and supress increasing your body temperature and pumping more blood.

HIV targets T cell lymphocytes, a part of the acquired immune system, whereas fever and blood pressure is affected by mast cells and neutrophils, part of the innate immune system.

You’re body can still put up a fight but as you say without these lymphocytes to coordinate it it’s not very effective.
