Overview

Co-infections in HIV/AIDS patients are the presence of one or more additional infections in a person living with HIV, occurring alongside the underlying viral disease. Because HIV progressively weakens the immune system by depleting CD4 cells, people with HIV are more susceptible to a range of opportunistic and concurrent infections caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi, including tuberculosis, hepatitis viruses, and various opportunistic pathogens. These co-infections can accelerate disease progression, complicate diagnosis and treatment, and increase illness and mortality, making their prevention, early detection, and management important components of HIV care. Effective management depends on antiretroviral therapy to preserve immune function, together with screening, prophylaxis, and treatment of co-existing infections, and on addressing the clinical and social factors that influence outcomes. Research in this journal addresses the broader landscape of HIV and AIDS, including clinical profiles and outcomes among hospitalized HIV-infected patients, immunological effects of interventions, condom use and prevention, the prevalence of conditions such as osteoporosis in HIV-infected patients, and aging-related effects of antiretroviral therapy. Within the scope of clinical research in HIV/AIDS and prevention, co-infections are studied alongside immune status, treatment, and prevention. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to HIV/AIDS, its complications, and its management.
