- Falling
A person with HIV is considered to have progressed to AIDS when: the number of their CD4 cells falls below 200 cells per cubic millimeter of blood (200 cells/mm3). [hiv.gov]
Once you have a dangerous opportunistic illness, life-expectancy without treatment falls to about 1 year. ART can be helpful for people who have AIDS when diagnosed and can be lifesaving. [aids.gov]

Fatigue is one of the most frequent and debilitating complaints in people diagnosed with HIV [ 9, 11 ]. The causes of fatigue remain unclear [ 11 ] although structural changes within the muscles fibers may contribute to the onset of fatigue [ 10 ]. [omicsonline.org]

The patient reported 6 months history of cough and weight loss. Chest radiograph had features consistent with pulmonary tuberculosis and sputum smear was positive for acid fast bacilli. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
HIV is not passed on by spitting, sneezing or coughing, nor by kissing or general social contact. HIV can’t survive for very long once it's outside the human body. [tht.org.uk]
Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
A common problem for PLWHA continues to be diarrhea and nausea and vomiting (NV). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
People usually notice swollen lymph nodes, fever, headache, nausea, and/or diarrhea, as well as a sore throat. Other symptoms include vomiting, joint pain (arthralgias), and sensitivity to light (photophobia). [skinsight.com]

Other symptoms include vomiting, joint pain (arthralgias), and sensitivity to light (photophobia). Men may notice open sores (ulcers) in the mouth or on the penis. [skinsight.com]
HIV is not transmitted through, for example: • food, drink or cutlery • towels or linens • saunas, public swimming pools or toilet seats • mosquitoes, other insects or animals • saliva, tears, sweat, urine, faeces or vomit • kissing, hugging or touching [hivpoint.fi]

Cardiovascular

Abstract Representative data on the prevalence of hypertension, a major non-infectious comorbidity in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected people, is lacking. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The following cardiovascular risk factors were assessed: hypertension, diabetes, smoking status, dyslipidemia and renal failure. [web.archive.org]

The drug ddC also is associated with peripheral neuropathy, as well as oral ulcers. ABC can cause a hypersensitivity reaction during the first two to six weeks of therapy in approximately 5% of individuals. [medicinenet.com]
Workup
The literature is lacking in details about the clinical workup of patients presenting with tuberculous meningitis with encephalopathic features who are co-infected with HIV. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Further workup was performed to rule out inflammatory or infectious conditions by blood and cerebrospinal fluid examinations. [ahajournals.org]

Treatment
Thus, patients with MT-2-positive virus have limited benefit from treatment with single nucleoside analogues. Knowledge of MT-2 cell tropism may be important in clinical trials and for choosing treatments for patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
In acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, KS has an aggressive course and carries poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We therefore believe it is important to inelude BCH in the spectrum of likely pulmonary radiological signs in the HlV-infected population, though further studies must be done to assess the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis and prognosis of BCH. [archbronconeumol.org]
