I'd like to issue a disclaimer that I am not a medical professional, just an HIV community educator and counselor.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.)
Individuals infected with HIV may become more apt to develop infections as their immune system is weakened by the virus over time. When someone has a weakened immune system, they are succeptible to "opportunitistic infections." Opportunistic infections are diseases that those with normal immune function do not have to be concerned about contracting.
Apart from opportunistic infections, those with HIV infection may have increased difficulty when infected with other viruses, bacteria, fungi ect.
Of the infections listed, rheumatoid arthiritis stands out as the condition that would be least likely to be caused by HIV infection. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks the joints. A person may be predisposed to RA and HIV can increase the severity of the condition, however the virus is not the cause of the condition.
