Why do AIDS victims die from different kinds of infectious disease rather than from a single AIDS disease?

Because AIDS is an auto-immune disease and your resistance to germs, viruses, and bacteria are lowered. This makes it very easy to catch an infectious disease and once the body's immune system is further compromised by being sick it is relatively easy for the organs to malfunction.

Is prostate cancer an infectious disease?
Prostate cancer is not considered an infectious disease. Unlike infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens that can be transmitted from person to person, prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops within the prostate gland due to the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. While infectious agents such as viruses or bacteria have been implicated in the development of some cancers, there is currently no strong evidence to suggest that prostate cancer is caused by an infectious agent. The majority of prostate cancers are thought to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, rather than infectious causes. However, certain infections and inflammation of the prostate gland, such as chronic prostatitis or sexually transmitted infections, may be associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer in some cases. Chronic inflammation in the prostate gland has been hypothesized to contribute to the development and progression of prostate cancer, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. Overall, while infections and inflammation may play a role in some cases, prostate cancer is primarily considered a non-infectious disease driven by genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Early detection through regular screening and consultation with a healthcare professional remain critical for managing prostate cancer risk and detecting the disease in its early stages.
What organisms are responsible for infectious disease?
The vast majority of bacteria are harmless to us humans, and a great number of them are actually beneficial to us. There are, however, a smaller number that are actually harmful. Most of these cause contagious diseases, while some of the more virulent are infectious. A few like tuberculosis, syphilis, and chlamydia, are infectious, which means that they are spread by intimate contact. It is not so much the type of bacteria that makes it infectious, but rather the transmission route. For a pathogen to be infectious it is spread through contact with body fluids, in particular blood, semen, vaginal secretion, breast milk, and sometimes saliva.
