A) The virus produces cell surface receptors that bind to pathogens, making it easier for those pathogens to be infective.
B) Synthesising a DNA copy of the viral genome makes a person fell sick.
C) HIV attacks and destroys the T helper cells, which are central to mounting an effective immune response, making those individuals more susceptible to other infections.
D) HIV destroys B cells so that antibodies cannot be made in response to invading pathogens.

An HIV-infected individual is more susceptible to a variety of infections because the virus destroys T-helper cells, which are essential for mounting an effective immune response. HIV does not bind to pathogens; it binds to T-helper cells. HIV does not destroy B cells.
