Answer:
We
can see the tissue specificity of the infection leading to very general seeming
effects in case of HIV infection. The HIV attacks the immune system via the lymph
nodes. From here it spreads all over the body and damages its functions.
Because of this, the body becomes prone to various diseases as it cannot
fight off even the minor infections which otherwise would not have lasted
longer.
For example, even a small cold can become pneumonia and a
minor gut infection may lead to a severe case of diarrhoea with blood loss.
In the same way, other infections kill people that they
are suffering from, e.g., HIV-AIDS.
The tissue specificity of the infection (HIV-AIDS) is
lymph nodes. General seeming effects are loss of immunity even to minor
diseases or infections that ultimately lead to the death of the patient.
