Why happens to hiv when it enters a T cell?

When HIV enters a T cell, it binds to the CD4 receptors and co-receptors on the cell's surface, facilitating its fusion with the cell membrane. Once inside, the virus releases its RNA and enzymes, including reverse transcriptase, which converts viral RNA into DNA. This viral DNA is then integrated into the host cell's genome, allowing the virus to hijack the cell's machinery to replicate itself and produce new viral particles, ultimately leading to the destruction of the T cell and impairment of the immune system.
