Since you asked what other similarities exist, let me reference my Why SARS-Cov-2 Is Deserving Of Having The Playbook Used For The Prevention, Treatment, And Management Of HIV Applied To It document.

With both infections, one of the first things that is accomplished is a breaking down of the Intestinal Barrier Function, allowing for what is referred to as microbial translocation to take place. 
Once "leaky gut" develops, lipopolysaccharide enters systemic circulation, placing the immune system under constant stimulation. This also leads to a premature aging of the immune system and contributes to neurocognitive decline. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Another similarity is that of reservoir involvement, which was known to the government, medical establishment, academia, and advocacy groups in September, 2021. assets.researchsquare.com/files/rs-11390…
Lots of folks have complained of dysautonomia. This is seen in HIV positive individuals who have virus in the second portion of the small intestine, or jejunum. Chertow found virus there in 2021. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
"Pathologic studies involving the jejunal mucosa of HIV-positive patients demonstrates that damage to the autonomic nerve fibers occurs early in the course of HIV infection."
Both populations can experience osteoporosis as a consequence of monocyte derived macrophages differentiating into hyperactive osteoclasts. medicine.iu.edu/blogs/research…
This is why folks jaws are disintegrating. The mandible is rich in osteoclasts.
You hear of folks talking about their teeth falling out and cavities developing. This is due to a lack of saliva production because the salivary glands have been infected. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33834497/
"Chronic hyposalivation occurring in almost 30-40% of HIV infected patients is another important factor increasing the risk of tooth caries."
Both populations can experience what has been referred to as "microclots" but is actually disseminated intravascular coagulation. Viral persistence, leaky gut, and other factors cause the clots to form.
Both populations experience latent virus reactivation. Your population is experiencing Immune System Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome due to low neutrophils. HIV folks can experience it after antiviral initiation. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK56780…
Both populations can experience amyloid being deposited int the brain. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Both populations experience cell-to-cell communication, or transcytosis. One example is that of the Tunneling Nanotube. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Both populations experience cachexia and sarcopenia. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…
Both populations can experience an elevation in Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, which contributes to angiogenesis, or new blood vessel formation, feeding tumors. academic.oup.com/oncolo/article…
Both populations can experience the exact opposite of DIC, Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Both populations have had their neurological insult measured with the test for HIV Associated Neurocognitive Decline. ucsf.edu/news/2022/01/4…
Both populations have those who are suffering from Asymptomatic Neurocognitive Impairment and do not even know it. Like 70% of Dr. Apple's control arm.
Both populations have had astrocytes, perivascular macrophages, choroid plexus, pericytes, and microglia infected within the Central Nervous System reservoir.
Microglia are the primary cell type that constitute the CNS reservoir in HIV. They are resistant to death and contribute to drug resistance. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
There is also an aversion to the use of nonpharmaceutical interventions and vaccines that do not prevent against infection.
There is only one population that is able to prevent further disease progression and forward transmission.
This was made possible due to strong advocacy by those who sought to keep their donors alive for decades, like Nashville Cares that has been around since the early days of the HIV crisis.
