| Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hello, Your friend has advanced-stage AIDS with a severely deficient immune system, which leaves him highly susceptible to many opportunistic infections and malignancies. As he was recently admitted to the hospital, there is a strong likelihood he has an active opportunistic infection or malignancy. Some of these opportunistic processes can be effectively treated; others are not. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
