Pneumonia in and of itself is NOT AIDS defining. Pneumonia with fungal types not seen in immunocompetent patients certainly is AIDS defining if the patient already has HIV status. Without a compromised immune system, every human can fight off these pathogens. I don't understand all these conspiracy theories involving medicine. We really do want people to get better, we really don't just prescribe drugs to get the free pens and we don't make up diseases just to keep pharmaceutical companies in business.
