However, "interaction" in this context is not referring to flu and HIV mixing genetically, creating some new super virus. It is simply referring (if you read the whole document, it's quite clear) to the possible additional complications of HIV-infected people also getting infected with the H1N1 flu and being more susceptible because of their weakened immune systems.
In the same way, you sometimes hear of people being treated for the flu with antibiotics. The antibiotics won't affect the flu, of course, because it's a virus not a bacteria, but it might be helpful against other, opportunistic infections that take advantage of the body's weakened stated.
