3.Infections
HIV makes it harder for the immune system to fight off germs,
so it’s easier for opportunistic infections to take hold. Some of these include
pneumonia, tuberculosis, and hepatitis C. People with HIV are more prone to
infections of the skin, eyes, lungs, kidneys, digestive tract, and brain. It
may also be more difficult to treat common ailments like the flu.
Taking extra precautions, including frequent hand washing and taking HIV medications can help prevent some of these illnesses and their complications.
