Examples of opportunistic infections in HIV positive individuals include Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, cytomegalovirus infection, cryptococcal meningitis, and Mycobacterium avium complex infection.

Early detection and proper treatment are crucial for managing opportunistic infections in HIV positive individuals.
A person with HIV infection gets diseases a healthy person would not get?
HIV effects the cells associated with immune function. Over time, a person with HIV may experience an inability to recover from infections due to decreased immune function. Once an individual has reached a certain degree of immune deficiency, they are susceptible to what is known as "opportunistic infections." Opportunistic Infections are diseases that people with normal immune function are not at risk of being infected by. Opportunistic infections are found in patients who suffer from a variety of disorders associated with immune function.
