Another surprise came from people infected with H.I.V. Dr. Elledge expected their immune responses to other viruses to be diminished. “Instead, they have exaggerated responses to almost every virus,” he said. The researchers do not know why.
Wow. Perhaps because other people need time for the immune system to "ramp-up" production, while we are always in Combat Mode? Regardless, this is fascinating. Thanks for posting it!
