Explanation:

HIV attacks T - cells (a type of white blood cell important for the immune system). As HIV progresses to AIDS, the immune system is severely damaged. A key diagnostic criterion for AIDS is a T - cell count of less than 200 cells per cubic millimeter of blood. When the T - cell count is this low, the body has a very hard time fighting off infections (so option A is wrong). Option B is incorrect because a T - cell count greater than 200 is not indicative of AIDS. Also, different people with AIDS can have different symptoms and reactions (so option C is wrong).

Answer:

D. have a T - cell count of less than 200
