HIV: HELPLESS LEAVES OR VICIOUS ATTACKERS?

This report is to explain the movement of the HIV around the body

particularly to the gut lining and genitals.

The viral particles gather in the lymph and blood in the millions that

increase exponentially after replication in CD4 T cells (floating) and

mucosa (attached) cells.

People must get confused by the HIV virus. We read that it floats like

microscopic leaves in body fluid. Then we read of the vicious attack

on the CD4. It is either a harmless floater or a vicious attacker like a

herd of microscopic wolves. So which is it?

It is both. It floats in the body having been engulfed by the mucosa cells

of the genitals, anus or mouth. The mucosa of the genitals are attached

to the mucosal layer.

Mucosa cells have helpers, the langerhans cells that catch viral particles

to be swallowed by the mucosa cells. The viral particles are swallowed

like helpless microscopic leaves.

Once inside the host mucosa cell, the vicious side comes out when HIV

attaches to the DNA of the host mucosal cells and starts to replicate like

microscopic photocopy machines. When the virus breaks out of the host

cells, the cells die in the millions. A vicious attack or vicious defence?

THIS IS THE ATTACK OF HELPLESS VICIOUS LEAVES.

Then we read that the virus attacks the mucosa cells in the gut lining. We

picture that the virus sweeps down through the blood and lymph systems

like the Mongol hordes searching for mucosa or CD4 cells. Not true.

The floating CD4 cells have helpers too that are all called white blood

cells. There are cells to identify intruders, remember intruders, antibodies

and cells that attach to the intruder and push to the mucosa or CD4 cells

to be swallowed.

That is what happens to push the HIV towards the CD4 cells of the gut.

Millions of helpless HIV particles are guided like a herd of sheep.

Their turn to be vicious comes when gut CD4 swallows with replication

to follow and break-out of a new generation of HIV particles. The gut

CD4 dies and causes massive damage to the gut wall.

WHAT OF THE ATTACK ON THE GENITALS?

This is like a game of musical chairs. The HIV attack on the genitals

comes when the sufferer has Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI).

These are foreign bodies that attract the CD4 T cells of the blood that

come in the millions to protect the body against STIs.

But CD4 T cells wait for the white blood cells that shepherd any HIV

particles to the CD4 in the genitals. So millions of STI germs attract

millions of floating CD4 which attract millions of HIV.

Any man or woman with millions of STIs in genitals also has millions of

CD4 that attract millions of HIV. A person who has sex with a sufferer

may well be seriously infected by this high viral load.

The body has a fatal problem with the HIV virus. Normal body defences

do not work. CD4 T cells and mucosa cells are supposed to be killer cells.

But these are helpless against the HIV virus as the virus replicates in killer

cells and then kills the killer cells.
