Occasionally, I see an article about how people living with HIV are more apt to contract A, B or C... Yes, we are. HIV is a virus that makes it easier for you to contract just about any illness or develop any health related issue.
HIV affects the autoimmune system & therefore you are more susceptible to nearly everything. Even if on a regimen, your system isn't normal. You aren't like everyone else, you are more vulnerable. It will require more effort & awareness on your part to stay healthy.
This isn't a value judgement. It's just life for those who are HIV+. Meds help, but they aren't a cure, nor are they complete. Get your flu shots, vaccinate against pneumonia, etc... It's your health, no one else is going to do it for you.
Cya...
