What kind of infections are people with HIV vulnerable to? |
It's for a project. Can anyone tell me what infections/diseases people with HIV are vulnerable to catch? MAC With the immune system being compromised, they are vulnerable to any infection. They are more susceptible to bacterial, fungal, and viral infections in general, which healthy people are all exposed to. Healthy immune systems are able to fight these off. The types of infections that become a problem for people with compromised immune systems are called "opportunistic infections". |
