This condition significantly increases the risk of morbidity and mortality due to the immunocompromised state caused by HIV.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in various clinical settings, particularly in infectious disease and HIV care. It is important to use the formal term and avoid colloquial phrases that may arise in discussions about HIV and TB, such as 'sida' or 'tuberculosis'. Stick to the glossary term to maintain clarity and professionalism.
