Solution

B-cells

Explanation:

HIV primarily infects monocytes, T-cells (especially helper T-cells), and macrophages. B-cells are not a primary target for HIV infection. Macrophages and monocytes can act as HIV reservoirs, while HIV mainly targets and destroys helper T-cells, leading to immunodeficiency.
