Hiv disease resulting in other infectious and parasitic diseases - what does this mean
Hiv disease weakens the body's immune system, allowing other infectious and parasitic diseases to take hold. this can occur when the virus directly damages the immune system, or when the body is unable to fight off the infectious or parasitic organisms due to the weakened immune system. in either case, the result is a greater risk of infection and disease.
What happens during the disease - hiv disease resulting in other infectious and parasitic diseases
Hiv is an immunosuppressive virus that causes damage to the immune system, leading to an increased susceptibility to other infectious and parasitic diseases. this is due to the virus' ability to directly attack and destroy cd4+ t-cells, which are a critical component of the immune system that helps the body to fight off infection. as a result, individuals with hiv are more likely to develop other infectious and parasitic diseases, as their immune system is not able to adequately respond to and fight off these infections.
