HIV is an immunosuppressant that causes your body's immune system to weaken. This weakened state allows for opportunistic infections to attack the body. Opportunistic infections are common infections that the body normally can fight off but now can cause damage as the body is undefended. So something as simple as the flu can result in hospitalization and even death in someone with HIV. Beyond that the medication used to suppress HIV cause many complications such as nauseous, vomiting, liver or kidney issues. As the complications can be numerous I have provided these as only examples not a complete list. Generally any Sid effect from any medication is a possible complication for someone with HIV.

Does CT scan of the brain detects HIV?
A CT scan of the brain does not directly detect HIV; instead, it is used to identify complications or conditions resulting from HIV, such as opportunistic infections or tumors. While HIV can affect the brain, the virus itself is diagnosed through blood tests that detect antibodies or the virus's genetic material. Therefore, a CT scan can provide supportive information but is not a diagnostic tool for HIV infection.
