Why can AIDS be classified as both an infectious disease and an immune system disorder ?

Because AIDS can not only be passed from person to person but it can also affect your immune system in ways other infections diseases can not.

Explanation:

for example: type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disorder and can not be passed on by bodily fluids. chlamydia is an infectious disease that can be passed on by bodily fluids.

AIDS is an auto immune disorder because it affects the immune system in the same ways that other auto-immune disorders do. this being so it can all so be found in the blood and passed on like an infection where as auto-immune disorders normally dont live in a persons blood.
