Tuberculosis co-infection is one of the leading causes of sickness and death in those with HIV/AIDS being present in a third of all HIV-infected people and causing 25% of HIV-related deaths.[210] HIV is also one of the most important risk factors for tuberculosis.[211] Hepatitis C is another very common co-infection where each disease increases the progression of the other.[212] The two most common cancers associated with HIV/AIDS are Kaposi's sarcoma and AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[205] Other cancers that are more frequent include anal cancer, Burkitt's lymphoma, primary central nervous system lymphoma, and cervical cancer.[29][213]
Even with anti-retroviral treatment, over the long term HIV-infected people may experience neurocognitive disorders,[214] osteoporosis,[215] neuropathy,[216]cancers,[217][218] nephropathy,[219] and cardiovascular disease.[171] Some conditions, such as lipodystrophy, may be caused both by HIV and its treatment.[171]
