HIV destroys the body's immune system while multiple sclerosis causes the immune system to become less efficient
Multiple sclerosis
It is neither bacterial nor viral. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. That means that your body's immune system is attacking parts of your body. In the case of multiple sclerosis the immune system is attacking the protective cover around the nerve cells.
multiple sclerosis may be the body's delayed immune reaction to viruses such as measles, Herpes simplex, rubella, and parainfluenza.
Currently no one knows what causes MS. Some think it is an auto immune disease. Some think it is caused by a virus. Some think that it has some genetic components.
In multiple sclerosis, the immune system destroys the myelin sheath (sort of like wire insulation) surrounding the nerves and in doing so interrupts the signals along the path of the nervous system.

An autoimmune disease is one in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the host which it is protecting. In Multiple Sclerosis, the immune system attacks and destroys the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers, leaving behind hard plaques or scars (called scleroses, thus "multiple sclerosis" meaning "many scars").

Alllergy and asthma :) :) :( ;) :> :0AIDs, Multiple sclerosis or cancer can cause someone to become immunocompromised.
MS is short for Multiple Sclerosis. Its an auto immune disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord.
Multiple sclerosis means "many scars." This name comes from the pathology of the disease, where nerve cells are attacked by the immune system. T-cells will destroy the myelin sheath surrounding nerve cells, leaving hard, plaque-like regions called scleroses.
