How Does HIV and AIDS Cause Illness? HIV attacks and destroys a type of white blood cell called a CD4 cell, commonly called the T-cell. This cell's main function is to fight disease. When a person's CD4 cell count gets low, they are more susceptible to illnesses. AIDS is the more advanced stage of HIV infection.
Since HIV attacks the body's immune system, patients are vulnerable to infections that may spread to the heart and cause disease. Also, some HIV medications may cause conditions such as dyslipidemia (high levels of fat in the blood), diabetes, or metabolic syndrome, which are risk factors for heart disease. In addition, conditions unrelated to HIV, such as obesity, smoking, and family history of heart disease, may predispose patients to heart problems.
