1 Tuberculosis (TB). In resource-poor nations, TB is the most common opportunistic infection associated with HIV and a leading cause of death among people with AIDS.  Cytomegalovirus. This common herpes virus is transmitted in body fluids such as saliva, blood, urine, semen and breast milk. A healthy immune system inactivates the virus, and it remains dormant in your body. If your immune system weakens, the virus resurfaces â causing damage to your eyes, digestive tract, lungs or other organs.
The infections are called opportunistic because they take the opportunity to attack you when your immune system is weak. The cancers are called AIDS related because they appear mostly in people who have advanced, later-stage HIV infection, known as AIDS. Most people who die of AIDS do not die from the virus itself. They die from opportunistic infections (or OIs). Often, people are infected with the OI long before they become infected with HIV. Their functioning immune system keeps the OI under control, so they don't have any symptoms of the infection.
