Q. The cells called '$HIV$ factory' is

Human Health and Disease

Solution:

After entering into the host body, $HIV$ moves into macrophages where its $RNA$ replicates to form viral $DNA$. This viral $DNA$ gets incorporated into the host cell's $DNA$ and directs the infected cells to produce more viruses. Hence macrophages continue to produce viruses and act as $HIV$ factories.
