Which of the following is NOT a type of opportunistic infection common to HIV/AIDS positive people?

You Can Treat HIV

HIV can be a manageable chronic disease for many people. That’s because of HIV treatment. Today’s treatments are easier to take and more effective than when HIV treatments were first developed. Starting and sticking to HIV treatment makes it possible to live a longer and healthier life.

The sooner you start HIV treatment, the less damage HIV does to your immune system.

A scientific study has shown benefits to starting treatment as soon as possible.

HIV: What’s Going on Inside Your Body

One way to deal with HIV is to understand how it works in your body. And that it’s already causing damage to your immune system. This is important to understand because the immune system is what protects you from disease and helps keep you healthy.

The Benefits of Starting Treatment Now

For about 3 years, the START study followed more than 4,600 people living with HIV. Some people started treatment right away and some waited.

Those who started treatment right away (regardless of what their CD4 count was) were healthier than those who waited. The group that started treatment immediately had a lower chance of developing AIDS, tuberculosis, or certain cancers.

Here is where you can find more information about the importance of starting HIV treatment as soon as possible.

Start the Conversation

You may still have questions. That’s understandable. Your doctor is a good person to ask for support. They can help answer your HIV-related questions or concerns.

Ask about anything you don’t understand. Talk about anything that makes it difficult to deal with HIV, and share any concerns you might have about taking medicine every day. That could include family life, your living situation, social life, sex life, or drug and alcohol use. You can talk about anything. Your doctor is there to help.

You can also talk about starting HIV treatment. Ask what it means to take treatment every day and how it can fit into your lifestyle. Then, your doctor can help decide the next steps for you to take.

Not sure how to start the conversation? Here are some questions that can help you start a discussion with your doctor and get the ball rolling.

Opportunistic infections, such as pneumocystis pneumonia and esophageal candidiasis, occur commonly in individuals with AIDS due to their compromised immune systems. These infections, alongside certain cancers, can lead to serious health complications.

An opportunistic infection is a disease that rarely occurs in individuals with a healthy immune system but becomes common in those with a compromised immune system, such as people with HIV/AIDS. Common opportunistic infections in people with AIDS include pneumocystis pneumonia (fungal pneumonia) and esophageal candidiasis (yeast infection). They can also develop viral-induced cancers such as Kaposi's sarcoma and Burkitt's lymphoma. Other health complications for individuals with AIDS may include HIV wasting syndrome, systemic symptoms like fevers, night sweats, and chronic diarrhea, but these are not classified as opportunistic infections per se.
