Best Answer: No! An autoimmune disease is one where your own body's immune system attacks the body and causes inflammation etc.... HIV is caused by a virus. No, the auto in autoimmune means that the body attacks its own immune system. HIV is Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is an alien (does not originate from the body) and destroys the host's immune system. The immune system becomes so weak that it can't defend the body against everyday bugs.
