Yes, the Swine Flu is dangerous to an HIV AIDS patient. Any minor infection or even a cold is deadly to an HIV AIDS patient. The person has to have progressed AIDS, otherwise it won't be as dangerous.

What is worst the Swine Flu or AIDS?

HIV/AIDS is by far the more severe virus and more deadly disease than Novel H1N1 Influenza. The spread of AIDS may be better controlled in the industrialized nations than Swine Flu (Novel H1N1), but for now the mildness of the symptoms and low mortality rates of the Swine Flu put these conditions on entirely different severity levels. Swine Flu has not been analyzed fully among early victims in the "third world nations", and since the death rates are more severe in those who are otherwise unhealthy with underlying conditions and among pregnant women, there is a potential for it to prove much more deadly as it moves more throughout the far corners of the world. But it is still unlikely to cause the morbidity and mortality that HIV/AIDS has.


How dangerous is it to get flu when already infected with HIV?

Very. When you have HIV, your immune system is very, very weak. It's called Human Immunodeficiency Virus. In other words, your immune system is so weak, it needs all the help it can get. Any and all sicknesses are very dangerous to someone HIV positive.


Will old people be protected from Swine Flu if they have the normal flu vaccine?

UpdateFor the 2010-2011 flu season in the USYes, the vaccine for H1N1/09 "swine flu" is included as one of the three vaccines in the "regular" flu shot, so anyone who takes their flu vaccination this flu season will be protected from swine flu.For the 2009-2010 flu season in the USNo, the regular seasonal flu vaccines are not effective for the new Novel H1N1 Swine Flu. However, it is interesting, and not exactly known why yet, to note that the elderly have been much less susceptible to the virus than with seasonal flu viruses.With seasonal flu, those 65 and older compose the majority of the fatality demographics, but with swine flu the ages of those dying from the virus are in the 30 - 50 year old group.There is speculation that there may be some residual immunity in those of the older age group, who are normally killed by influenza, from the earlier vaccines used for other strains of swine flu in the early to mid 20th century.The Novel H1N1 flu is more fatal to those in the middle ages groups, especially those with underlying medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or other chronic lung or cardiac diseases. Other risk groups are the immuno-suppressed (HIV/AIDS, transplant, leukemia patients), and pregnant women.
