HIV+ attracts other diseases


Is it true that an HIV positive individual can be easly affected by other deseases?
 
Over time, HIV destroys the immune system of the individual. This weakened immunity makes the individual susceptible to other infections, which they may not have contracted otherwise. However, HIV induced immune suppression takes time to develop. During this time, the individual remains reasonably healthy. Medication for HIV (ART) can suppress the multiplication of the virus. Thus it prevents or delays the suppression of immunity. You should discuss ART with your doctor or HIV counsellor at the earliest.
