IMHO good or interesting images (as yours) get attention in this group.
There is NO NEED TO CRY nor to use several exclamation marks!!!!
A descriptive subjects is helpful, too.

On the other hand, I have no problem with you mentioning that the virus 
looks beautiful despite its deadliness.

    Unless I missed something, which is very, very likely, there is no or there
is only one image of what might be HIV.

All in all I think you did a very good job.
Too bad your image went unnoticed.:)

Does the flu permanently sabatoges your immune system?
Is it a retrovirus? (no reall y I am asking)
because HIV targets your T-20 cells or whatever and it's a retrovirus so
its genetic code constantly changes and that is why they cannot make a
vaccine

Well the fact the it mutates does make it harder to make a vaccine for AIDS.
But the main reason is that what we normally consider a vaccine depends on
you have a healthy immune system. Usually the inject a weakened strain  or
dead viruses into your body. Then your immune system recognizes the virus
and produces an immune reaction and antibodies. Next time you get the virus
your body has the antibodies to recognize and fight it off. This is not
possible for HIV because of its vary nature. It hides away from the immune
system so you never develop immunity to it. I believe current vaccine work
is being done on trying to block the proteins the virus uses to enter a
humans cells. This is quite different from a normal vaccine.

They cannot inject dead viruses, and viruses cannot hide, because viruses are
not alive ;-)

Yes, that is what's being done now.
As for the RNA being the reason why they can't make a normal vaccine; my biology
teacher told me that so it could easily be wrong.
