HIV infection (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) remains one of the most pressing global health challenges. Despite significant advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART) and preventive strategies, HIV continues to predispose individuals to a wide range of opportunistic infections (OIs). These opportunistic diseases dramatically affect the morbidity and mortality of people living with HIV (PLHIV). In many low- and middle-income countries, limited access to comprehensive care and late diagnosis often exacerbate the burden of opportunistic infections [1]. Understanding the clinical, epidemiological, and immunological aspects of opportunistic diseases, alongside ensuring effective treatment and prevention of HIV, is critical for reducing related complications, improving patients’ quality of life, and achieving the global goals for HIV/AIDS control [2].
