how hiv infection occurs

this is what i understood,
the virus has glycoprotein on the surface which binds to the CD4 receptors in the t helper cells. next the rna enters the thelper cell and does reverse transcriptase. the viral dna is made. now viral proteins and viral replication takes place inside the t helper cell. eventually the t helper cell bursts and dies.
but my question here is, why didnt the phagocyte just engulf the hiv virus before it could attack t helper cell.
and another question is what does t killer cell have to do with this

Phagocytes mostly engulf bacteria,while virus are 100 times smaller than bacteria
Also phagocytes need opsonin to guide them to microorganisms and opsonin is released by antibody after t-helper has been infected (humoral response) so phagocytes can't engulf them beforehand.

T-killer cells bind to heavily infected T-helper cells and release lysosome enzyme to do lysis(destroy t-helper cell)so that t-helper cell burst open,
Most of the time virus assembly to destroy t-helper but sometimes t-killer cells destroy them if virus detected

Normally phagocytes enter the play when the pathogen is outside the host cell.
For phagocyte to work out in cell mediated response we need t-helper cells to be activated but by the time this happens, huge no. of t-helper cells die out viral lysis.
T- killer cells and antibodies are the ones tackling the pathogen in cell mediated response. T- killer cells in our case cant be formed since t-helper cells arent activated yet.

ohh
i thought phagocyte engulfs first, than antigen represent on the phagocyte. then t helper cell binds to it and activates t killer cell and b cell

thank u, so basically the hiv virus just enters the t helper cell and kills it by lytic. t killer cell wont be made and no antibody too cause no b cell activated?

Yes,even that occurs,you are right but for this case HIV is very small so gets mostly undetected by phagocytes
Some will get detected which will cause the start of response you just said.
All HIV doesn't get engulfed by phagocytes and 1 hiv is needed to start virus multiplication and virus have specfic receptors which helps to directly go for t-helper receptors
