Best Answer

These are two different viruses. HIV causes AIDS and it is infectious. Influenza causes a severe upper respiratory infection. It is also infectious. People with HIV have a problem with fighting off any other infection and they are prone to get influenza. You can't get HIV from some one with influenza. HIV is only passed by sexual contact.
You can not get HIV from someone who has HIV and influenza by getting influenza from that person.
