Amount in Body White Blood Cells (CD4 T) HIV Time Say, “AIDS is when your body’s immune system is weakened by many years of HIV infection. As the numbers of HIV go up, the numbers of white blood cells go down. When you have HIV you feel normal and look healthy but the virus is reproducing in your cells. When other illnesses infect your body, this is called AIDS. People with AIDS are very sick. Their immune system is badly damaged.” b.
