The virus that causes AIDS (HIV) is not the organism that causes the symptoms of AIDS, instead HIV destroys a significant part of the immune system leaving the body open to uncontrolled infections by many other organisms (e.g. bacteria, fungi) and to certain cancers (e.g. Kaposi's Sarcoma) which produce the symptoms of AIDS.
