A member asked:

For what reason is aids not attacked by white blood cells?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Competition: Aids has as a primary target, the white cells involved in defense against invading organisms. So it neutralizes the very cells which might be used to defend against it. The battle is a competition between the reproduction of the aids virus and the ability of the patient to manufacture un affected white cells which can attack the virus.
