While in the hospital, the doctors realize that he has pneumonia and find a yeast infection in his blood. They also determine that his white blood cell counts are extremely low.Which STD/STI might Brian have?

A. HIV/AIDS
B. Syphilis
C. HPV
D. Chlamydia/PID

Answer 1

Under these circumstances AIDS would be the most logical answer. AIDS is the abbreviated term for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. AIDS is the later stages of a in HIV infection marked by an decreased in the bodies ability to fight pathogens. HIV or Human Immunodeficiency virus is a viral infection that infects white blood cells, resulting if not treated a low white blood cell count.

With uncontrolled HIV and AIDS a persons body can not fight pathogen like it used to. This means that the common cold and a yeast infection could both progress to a dangerous point without aggressive treatment. As an EMIT I have actually witnessed two people who have died of the common cold in this way.

Answer is A

Answer 2

He has AIDS. Aids is when hiv progresses and destroys the immune system. When your white blood cell count is very low, you most likely have aids. Aids targets white blood cells. You have more of a chance of getting infected with a disease when you have aids. You have the disease much longer or you never get over it. Hope this helps! ;)
