Opportunistic infections (OIs) are infections that occur more frequently and are more severe in individuals with weakened immune systems, including people with HIV.
When our immune system is working, it controls these germs. But when the immune system is weakened by HIV disease or by some medications, these germs can get out of control and cause health problems. Infections that take advantage of weakness in the immune defenses are called âopportunisticâ.The phrase âopportunistic infectionâ is often shortened to âOIâ.IV weakens the immune system so that opportunistic infections can develop.
