Heart problems are more common in people with HIV/AIDS. Those with left ventricular dysfunction have a median survival of 101 days as compared to 472 days in people with AIDS with healthy hearts. [1] HIV is a major cause of cardiomyopathy (problems with the
HIV can survive at room temperature outside the body for hours if dry (provided that initial concentrations are high), [31] and for weeks if wet (in used syringes/needles). [32] However, the amounts typically present in bodily fluids do not survive nearly as long outside the body—generally no more than a few minutes if dry. [23]
Photosensitivity with HIV infection is a skin condition resembling polymorphous light eruption, actinic prurigo, or chronic actinic dermatitis, seen in about 5% of HIV-infected people. [ 1 ] : 38
WHO Disease Staging System for HIV Infection and Disease was first produced in 1990 by the World Health Organization [1] and updated in 2007. [2] It is an approach for use in resource limited settings and is widely used in Africa and Asia and has been a useful research tool in studies of progression to symptomatic HIV disease .

HIV wasting syndrome; Pneumocystis pneumonia; Recurrent severe or radiological bacterial pneumonia; Chronic herpes simplex infection (orolabial, genital or anorectal of more than one month's duration) Esophageal candidiasis ...
These dying cells are resting and thus are nonpermissive for productive HIV infection. Full viral replication was limited to the ~5% of activated CD4 T cells present in these tissues; these cells die by apoptosis. [10] Abortive HIV infection occurs due to slowing of reverse transcription promoting cytosolic DNA accumulation.

[1] [2] [3] [5] Although a diagnostic workup has not been finalized, the suggested diagnostic workup includes (1) confirming HIV infection, (2) confirming six or greater months of characteristic signs and symptoms, (3) evidence of organ infiltration by CD8+ T cells, and (4) exclusion of other autoimmune conditions.
