The core is covered by an envelope.There are enzymes (eg Reverse Transcriptase, Integrase, Protease )inside the envelope. The virus uses these enzymes to produce new viruses inside the human body. There are some proteins inside the virus called â€Å"Antigens†. Inside the human body the virus attack many cells including brain cells, kidneys, bowels, genitals and CD4 Lymphocytes. CD4 Lymphocytes are important to mediate the immune response within the body. When the CD4 cells are damaged and killed, the immune functions in the body are also weakened.
