My net is being a pain today. So, I'll tell you of a common theme I've been reading lately, co-infection. Many + people are also infected by other communicable diseases such as TB, Hep C & Syphilis. I'd imagine it was probable they'd also carry a host of other ailments transmitted via sexual contact, needle sharing or blood.
This doesn't seem like much of a surprise to me, but it seems like ground shaking news to the medical communities. Why? I don't know. It's a common sense approach to test the + patients for all these ailments in the beginning of treatment. I had this done & my doctors acted like it was just SOP.
I guess all I can say on this matter is that if you're +, then you should make sure you get tested for these type of diseases as well. The sooner you're diagnosed, the sooner you can get treatment.
