You know, the most common comorbidities amongst patients with HIV include: diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease (CVD, e.g. hypertension), respiratory diseases (e.g. chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and pneumonia), and hepatic diseases (hepatitis B and C).
People who die from AIDS, don't die from the HIV virus per se, but the deaths
are classified as such, even though they actually succumb to an underlying condition (pneumonia, cancer, or infections, etc), as a result of a weakened immune system.
Just sayin...
