The correct answer is Option 1) TH Cells (T-helper cells).


HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) primarily infects and replicates in T-helper cells, which are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. HIV specifically targets CD4 receptors on the surface of T-helper cells. Once inside the T-helper cells, the virus replicates and produces progeny viruses, leading to the destruction of T-helper cells and the weakening of the immune system. This is why HIV infection can result in immunodeficiency and increased susceptibility to various infections and diseases.
