AIDS is a virus that attacks and replicates inside of a host. It basically destroys your immune system leaving you open to attacks from bacteria, other viruses, cancers, and possibly fungi and mold. Part of the reason AIDS is so dangerous is that it in and of itself doesn't kill you, it just leads to other things being able to attack you with impunity. Another answer:
No.
HIV Aids is an auto immune disease caused by a virus invading cells in the body and making the victim unable to combat everyday diseases that the immune system would normally fight without the person even being aware of it's presence.

What are the five major groups of human pathogens?
Virus (notable members: HIV, Influenza (flu)); bacteria (NM: E.Coli, salmonela); Fungi (NM: ringworm, athlete's foot); Prion (NM: mad cow disease); Protists (NM: Malaria, giardia)----- I know of two more; plants (NM: pollen); Pathogen (NM: tapeworm)
What is the smallest infections agent-virus-protozoa fungi or helminth?
No. The smallest infective particle is a protein called a prion.
What pathogen causes CJD?
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is caused by abnormal prion proteins that affect the brain's structure and function. It is not caused by a traditional pathogen like a virus or bacteria.
What is Secondary structure of prion proteins in prion disease like Creutz feldt-Jakob disease (CJD)?
Secondary structure of prion proteins in prion disease like Creutz feldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is
Why has the prion hypothesis been controversial among scientists?
The prion hypothesis has been controversial among scientists because it challenges the traditional understanding of infectious agents. Unlike bacteria or viruses, prions lack genetic material and replicate by inducing normal proteins to adopt a misfolded shape. This unique mode of transmission and the lack of a clear understanding of prion biology have led to skepticism and debate in the scientific community.
Is mad cow a bacteria?
No. It is a prion, or a misfolded protein.

No. The smallest infective particle is a protein called a prion.
Is cholera prion?
No, cholera fever is not caused by prion. Instead, it is caused by a bacteria Vibrio cholerae. This bacteria fulfills the criteria for a cell as it possesses a limiting cell membrane, a matrix for metabolic reactions, and most importantly a genetic material containing coded information. On the other hand, a prion is simply known to be an infectious protein, and contains no genetic material.
What causes Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease?
All forms of CJD are caused by the presence of a faulty protein in the brain, called prion. Prions occur in both a normal form, which is a harmless protein found in the body's cells, and in an infectious form, which causes disease.
What pathogen causes CJD?
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is caused by abnormal prion proteins that affect the brain's structure and function. It is not caused by a traditional pathogen like a virus or bacteria.
What is the mean of aggressive pathogen?
A pathogen is something that causes disease, like a bacteria, virus, fungus or prion for example.
Is mad cow diasese a virus?
Mad cow disease is scientifically known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE for short. BSE is caused by a mis-folded protein in the brain and spinal cord of cattle, so it is actually none of the above (virus, bacteria or protist). Prions are a novel form of disease infection distinct from the traditional three infectious routes identified in the early 1900s.
What Biological agent that is an infective chemical?
Prion Prion
When was Antarctic Prion created?
Antarctic Prion was created in 1789.
When was Fairy Prion created?
Fairy Prion was created in 1820.
When was Fulmar Prion created?
Fulmar Prion was created in 1912.
