Just to clear this situation. Cellulitis is very common infection of dermis and subcutaneous tissues (skin and soft tissue) mainly caused by several types of bacteria. We all have bacteria on our skin , in throat an in nasal area. When skin broke (cuts,blisters, burns,...) particular types of bacteria can enter into our body and cause infection. This infection is in most cases treatable and we are back after 10-15 days of antibiotics. Cellulitis is not contagious.On the other side we may say that AIDS is the abbreviation for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The disease is caused by a virus known as the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV. AIDS develops when HIV attacks and destroys certain types of cells that are part of the immune system. The immune system consists of all those cells, tissues, and substances that protect the body from infection by foreign bodies, such as bacteria. HIV can be transmitted by sexual contact or with blood.
