Yes, there are risk factors are person is probably taking to become infected with an STD. For example, unprotected sex. These are the same behaviors that put a person at a higher risk for HIV. If a person already has an STD, their immune system will be weakened, making them even more susceptible to HIV. In reverse, if the person already has HIV, their immune system will be weakened making them even more susceptible to STDs.
HIV and STDs are related in several ways:
- Both are transmitted via similar behaviors, namely sexual contact
- When people have another STD besides HIV, more HIV cells are produced (one enhances the other)
- People with both HIV and STDS run a higher risk of transmitting the virus
- Symptoms of both conditions tend be more long lasting and harder to treat (in other words, a herpes outbreak will probably be more severe in someone whose immune system is suppressed, as is the case in HIV)

How does an STD reduce the risk of getting HIV?
STDs do not reduce the risk of getting HIV. In fact, STDs increase the risk of getting HIV. Any STD elicits an immune response. Its almost like ringing the dinner bell for HIV. Most infections pull CD4 immune cells (cells that HIV infects) to the site of infection (usually). This increases the risk of infection.
Does having an STD affect the risk of HIV?
Yes it does; you are more apt to catch HIV if infected with a STI.Since the STDs reduce you immune system response, your immune system is less likely to protect you from the HIV infection.Yes having STDs such as herpes and chlamydia does increase the risk of getting and spreading HIV.
Does regular treatment minimises HIV spread?
Keeping your immune system in peak condition (no other STDs as an example) will minimize the spread of HIV.
Is HIV the most common STD?
Nope actually chlamydia and herpes are the more common stds.
