Symptoms of TB in the lungs include cough, tiredness, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. Mycobacterium avium complex MAC MAC is caused by infection with different types of mycobacterium: Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium intracellulare , or Mycobacterium kansasii. These bacteria live in our environment, including in soil and dust particles. Infections with these bacteria spread throughout the body and can be life threatening in people with weakened immune systems. PCP occurs in people with weakened immune systems.
The first signs of infection are difficulty breathing, high fever, and dry cough. Pneumonia Pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs. Many germs, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can cause pneumonia. Symptoms include a cough with mucous , fever, chills, and trouble breathing. In people with immune systems severely damaged by HIV, one of the most common and life-threatening causes of pneumonia is an infection with the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae , also called Pneumococcus.
People with HIV should get a vaccine to prevent infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae. Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy This rare brain and spinal cord disease is caused by the JC John Cunningham virus. It is seen almost exclusively in people whose immune systems have been severely damaged by HIV. Symptoms may include loss of muscle control, paralysis, blindness, speech problems, and an altered mental state. This disease often progresses rapidly and may be fatal.
Salmonella septicemia Salmonella are bacteria that typically enter the body through eating or drinking contaminated food or water. Infection with salmonella called salmonellosis can affect anyone and usually causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Toxoplasmosis This infection is caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. The parasite is carried by warm-blooded animals including cats, rodents, and birds and is released in their feces stool. People can develop it by inhaling dust or eating food contaminated with the parasite.
Toxoplasma can also occur in commercial meats, especially red meats and pork, but rarely poultry. Infection can occur in the lungs, retina of the eye, heart, pancreas, liver, colon, testes, and brain. Although cats can transmit toxoplasmosis, litter boxes can be changed safely by wearing gloves and washing hands thoroughly with soap and water afterwards.
All raw red meats that have not been frozen for at least 24 hours should be cooked through to an internal temperature of at least o F. Wasting refers to the loss of muscle mass, although part of the weight loss may also be due to loss of fat. Living With HIV. Other Resources.

One of the main goals of ART is to reduce a person's viral load to an undetectable level. An undetectable viral load means that the level of HIV in the blood is too low to be detected by a viral load test. HIV Overview. During this time, some people have flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, and rash.
In the acute stage of infection, HIV multiplies rapidly and spreads throughout the body. Sales tax will be calculated at check-out.
