Will hyperthyroidism, allergies and a bad diet help make the progress to AIDS faster?


CDC, I think, has said that how long HIV turns to AIDS largely depends on your health status and health habits. If that's the case, will hyperthyroidism, allergies and a bad diet help speed up the process?

HIV is an infection that progresses throughout the years. HIV leaves in all the cells that have receptors on their surfaces called CD4. Those cells are the cells of the immune system. The health of a HIV infected patient deteriorates little by little. If you have a healthy life style, if you stay away from any other infections, diseases, even from insignificant colds, you will not force your immune system to fight a battle it sometimes can't win under the circumstances.
Usually, allergies and other small infections (even Candidiasis) do follow an infection with HIV. If you always take your antivirals as prescribed and test your viral load (that is the amount of virus that replicates in your body) when the doctor tells you, your condition will not deteriorate.
Hyperthyroidism must be treated. Under treatment, you will be ok. Keep on fighting! If you listen to your doctor and do not ignore what i said about the medication and the testing, it may be as long as 20 years before HIV progresses to AIDS.
There are also the so called "long survivors" who do not need any antiviral medication for a very long time, whose health do not deteriorates.
And yes, progressing to AIDS depends on your health status and on how you take care of yourself. Do not ever stop or forget to take your HIV medication because you will give the virus a chance to replicate and develop resistance to the antiviral medication.
Do not ignore HIV for it doesn't ignore you and take good care of yourself.
Wishing you good health!

bad diet and not treating the thyroid would be the first two issues, the allergies can make you end up with pnemonia....
