HIV does not cause an autoimmune disease. It causes an Aquired Immune Disease. The answer to the last part of your questions is NO.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sj%C3%B6gren's_syndrome) It says here that hiv can cause it.

Sorry the information you obtained is incorrect. You need to read the disclaimer on wikipedia.

Well after reading your profile I have to say that your are an expert in what we are talking about. I wish all the best on the good effort that you are doing and wish the best of health. But how come nobody notified the people behind wikipidea about this?

Have no idea, but the link you posted doesn't say anything about HIV causing Sjögren's syndrome.
