A member asked:
What is the relationship between having a yeast infection, and being positive for hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immune system: Having HIV decreases your overall immune system making it harder to fight of infections. This puts you at higher risk of things like yeast infections. It should respond to typical yeast treatments. With hiv, i'd recommend a vaginal culture to be sure it is just a yeast infection. This helps with treatment plans also.
