RISKS/DANGERS OF HIV














HIV infection weakens your immune system, making you highly susceptible to numerous infections and even certain types of cancer!




Infections common to HIV/AIDS:


  • Tuberculosis (TB) which may cause death.


  • Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection from contaminated food or water. Anyone can be exposed to salmonella bacteria and become sick, but it is more common in HIV-positive people.


  • Candidiasis is a common HIV-related infection which causes inflammation and a thick, white coating on the mucous membranes of your mouth, tongue, esophagus or vagina. It makes eating painful.


Cancers common to HIV/AIDS:


  • Kaposi's sarcoma
    A tumor of the blood vessel walls, this cancer is rare in people not infected with HIV, but common in HIV-positive people.
    It usually appears pink, red or purple lesions on the skin and    
    mouth. In people with darker skin, the lesions may look dark    
    brown or black. 

    Also affect the internal organs, including the digestive tract and       lungs.


  • Lymphomas

    This cancer originates in your white blood cells and usually    

    appears in your lymph nodes. 

  

    The most common early sign is painless swelling of the lymph    

    nodes in your neck, armpit or groin.





Other complications:


  • Neurological complications like confusion, forgetfulness, depression, anxiety and difficulty walking. It leads to behavioral changes and diminished mental functioning.


  • Kidney disease. HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is an inflammation of the tiny filters in your kidneys that remove excess fluid and wastes from your bloodstream and pass them to your urine. Because of a genetic predisposition, the risk of developing HIVAN is much higher in blacks.


  • Have other STI's. HIV produces open sores on your genitals. These sores act as doorways for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to enter your body.
