Why is AIDS multiple an insufficient immunological response to pathogens?

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a destruction of the immune system caused by a viral infection (HIV). It usually takes decades from the time of original infection before the virus actually begins destroying the immune system, but once it starts the victim rapidly looses the ability to fight off not only pathogens, but very rare cancers, as well as organisms that usually live harmlessly (and even sometimes symbiotically with our bodies) on or in our bodies.
Without treatment to stop replication of the virus acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is always fatal, with treatment many victims can live a nearly normal lifespan.

This nasty virus destroys the bullets you need in your guns so you can't inactive them like them like you do with a simple cold. Your body tries but can't.
Notice the use of the term "killed" is not used as these are viruses and they are not alive.

Which disorder is caused by insufficient immunological response pathogens?
Multiple sclerosis
How are proteins involved immunological response to pathogens?
E.g hemoglobin
Why is multiple sclerosis an insufficient immunological response to pathogens?
It isn't; it is your immune system working properly. The problem is your immune system is firing against a toxin that is lodged in your own body's tissues. When the toxin (now called an antigen) cannot die, your immune system becomes Th1 or Th2 dominant.
Specific immunological response?
adaptive immune response
Does SigA provide the second immunological response to ingested antigens?
Yes i think they do
What is a immunological response?
destruction of bacteria by lysozme
Is rheumatoid arthritis a disorder that is caused by insufficient immunological response to pathogens?
No Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that results in the immune system mistakenly attacking (among other tissues of the body) cartilage in the synovial joints. This leads to further destructive chemicals being created which in turn destroys further tissue in an around the joints. there is arthritis that has a connection with infection and RA may have some reaction there however RA is not seen as being the result of any pathogen.
Which is your body and rsquos ability to destroy pathogens that it has previously encountered before these pathogens can cause disease?
Immunity.
