The following information is about Opportunistic Infection.
Opportunistic Infection Defined
A disease or illness in a person with HIV. The INFECTION is called opportunistic because it takes advantage of the body's weakened IMMUNE SYSTEM. Once a person gets an OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTION, a doctor can say that the person has AIDS. This just means that the doctor noticed a change in how the person's IMMUNE SYSTEM works. It takes about 8-11 years for HIV to destroy the IMMUNE SYSTEM so that it doesn't kill germs very well. People with healthy IMMUNE SYSTEMS have or get these same germs in their body. They don't get sick because their IMMUNE SYSTEM works well. Different people get different illnesses. Most people don't die after they get one. There are medicines to treat many OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS now.
This definition is in context to Sexually Transmitted Disease. See more contextual defintions for Opportunistic Infection.
