boggling tactics used by the HIV vi-
rus. helper T cells circulating in the
bloodstream swim along, interlock-
ing with one another like the metal-
lic projections of a zipper. The HIV
leaps from one T cell to another to
avoid contact with the antibodies in
the blood stream. All this is done by
a virus, which is only one micron in
size, possesses no DNA and cannot
even be qualified as a living crea-
ture. The extraordinary ability of
the HIV virus to recognise the hu-
man body so well, develop ad-
vanced systems to overcome the
human body, implement the neces-
sary strategies without any errors
and constantly modify itself to be
protected from all kinds of weapons
used by the body are all truly amaz-
ing. This is a very good example of
how helpless mankind is rendered
in the presence of a minute virus,
which cannot be seen with the na-
ked eye.
