HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Disorder) is a lack of immune response as opposed to a hyper immune response so the T-Cells are destroyed by the Aids Virus which result in suppression of a key component of the immune system and it's ability to

fight disease.

Autoimmune diseases, like Lupus, MS, some types of MD and Arthritis, are afflictions that result in the body attacking it's own systems because it "recognizes" them as foreign.
