I'm using this article about HIV & menopause as an example of HIV comorbidity. Comorbidity refers to having 2+ chronic diseases/conditions simultaneously. It's very common.
I'm won't go into detail with article. It states, menopause compounds issues people with HIV face; fatigue & muscle ache. Some common comorbidities for HIV are issues concerning cardiovascular, endocrine, hypertension, renal, etc... Any of these is a major issue. Combined with HIV the matter becomes more serious & problematic.
Those didn't include mental illness or just the act of aging. HIV doesn't exist in a vacuum. It will affect every part of your life & be affected by those parts. Living with HIV is still a challenge.
Cya...
