Does it take a long time to recover from a cold if a person is infect with HIV/aids?

Question

Is getting a cold deadly for a HIV infected person?

Answer 1

An HIV infected person is more susceptible to infection because of the meds that they are on and because of an altered immune system due to the disease. Any infection that an uninfected person would normally overcome such as the flu or even a common cold, can become deadly for a PLWA (person living with AIDS). Therefore, they need to prevent an infection from occurring whenever possible. Also, they need to see a doctor when an infection does occur, so that their meds can be regulated to fight the infection.
