HIV enters the cell CD4+. These are cells which help fight infections. HIV DNA enters the nucleaus, therefore, the cell is no longer able to fight off infections.

HIV reproduction has 7 steps. It's in order by; binding and fusion, reverse transcription, integration, transcription, translation, assembly, and last budding. The host cell's enzymes transcribe the HIV DNA.

HIV goes through 7 steps in order to reproduce. First it goes through binging and fusion. Then it goes through reverse transcription and integration. Next it has transcription and translation. The finally things it goes through is assembly and budding.

The HIV virus binds to the receptor and fuses with the cell. Then makes a DNA copy of the HIV RNA. The HIV then hides in the host cell and the host cell's enzymes transcribe the HIV DNA. The ribosomes translate HIV RNA into HIV proteins and they form a new virus particle. Then the new virus buds from the host cell.

First it attaches to the T cell. Then in puts its DNA into the T cell. It then makes copies of itself. The Tcell is unable to fight off the HIV virus.
