I thought this piece was about about cognitive issues. No, it detailed something very dangerous. In the study, people with HIV, even those on a regimen, can lose their immunities to illnesses. This focused on smallpox. Some participants had been vaccinated against smallpox. Still, HIV made their T-cells forget their immunity.
They found similar things in children versus measles, even the flu. This could be devastating. Any of these childhood diseases or small pox, could kill a healthy person. For a person with a compromised immunity, the risks are higher.
Read this article. Get vaccinated against whatever you can. Give yourself every advantage. HIV is actively taking them away. This could explain how I keep getting pneumonia even after having the vaccinations. At least what I do contract isn't as severe as it could be.
Cya...
PS - recovery still in progress.
