Because HIV (AIDS virus) kills Helper-T cells of immune system which decreases the production of antibodies from the B-lymphocytes.This lowers our resistance to fight

pathogenic microorganisms which increases the chances of several bacterial and viral infections of any organ of the body.So HIV infection results in a variety of symptoms and diseases depending upon the type of infection and organ affected so is called a syndrome and not a disease.in AIDS,even minor infections can lead to serious complications e.g.,common cold may aggravate into pneumonia and minor gut infection may lead to severe diarrhoea and blood loss.
