Are people with hiv susceptible to sepsis?

Yes: If the infection is not under control. If HIV is well treated and viral load undetectable, CD4 count normal, then the risk is less.

Very much so!: Because their immune systems don't work normally, people with HIV are more likely to develop sepsis from an infection.

May be: Pneumcoccal sepsis/pneumonia and salmonella bacteremia were two illnesses seen in HIV infected people especially in the pre-therapy era.
