WHY HIV IN GENITALS?

We have to understand the role of the immune system that consists of a group of cells that we call the white blood cells.

These are the CD4, CD8, dendritic cells, antibodies, T cells and others. These identify foreign bodies, hold, shepherd and engulf.

There are two major accumulation points of CD4 cells. These are in the gut lining and also in the genitals when there is infection with STIs such as siphilis and VD.

Therefore if a person is infected with HIV and other STIs, there needs to be effort to bring all these infections under control.
