Question

Which cells act as an HIV factory according to the mechanism of action?

Options

• B-lymphocytes

• Macrophages

• Fibroblasts

• Neutrophils

Answer 1

After entering the body, HIV enters macrophages where the viral RNA is transcribed into viral DNA by reverse transcriptase. This viral DNA integrates into the host cell's DNA, and macrophages continue to produce the virus continuously, acting like an HIV factory that perpetually generates new viral particles.
