Herpetic infections increase the risk of contracting HIV and can be particularly severe in people with HIV infection. Opportunistic infections such as CMV, Candidiasis, Aspergillosis, Mucormycosis, Pneumocytiis carinii pneumonia (PCP), Herpetic infections, and Cryptococcus were reported in about 25% of the study population.
