Angelica69,

No it is not. Autoimmune disease is when your body's white cells attack your organs. AIDS is Acquired Immmune Deficiency Syndrome. I posted a link above to explain the differences.

The answer is yes is you have a certain virus but this is usually picked up from sexual contact with others who have the virus. Majority of auto-immune diseases are from other causes and have nothing at all to do with Aids.

Joyia,

The answer is NO! Autoimmune diseases are entirely different to AIDS.
