Infections addressed include pneumocystis pneumonia, Mycobacterium avium complex, toxoplasmosis encephalitis, and tuberculosis, among others. Other preventive interventions such as routine immunizations are addressed briefly as well. Diagnosis and treatment of five of the most common HIV-associated opportunistic infections are reviewed.
