The correct choice is B: "HIV/AIDS. When an individual contracts an STD or STI, their immune system responds to fight off the causative agents like viruses, fungi, or bacteria. As a result, the number of white blood cells, or leukocytes, typically increases to defend the body. In the case of HIV, however, the virus specifically targets and infects T Lymphocytes (also known as T-helper cells), leading to their destruction, which consequently reduces white blood cell counts.
