Besides hiv what can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome?

None: There are other diseases that cause immunodeficiency, but only hiv-1 and hiv-2 infection cause aids.

Secondary immunodef: As dr. Gallant explains, only hiv-1 and hiv-2 cause aids. If you are asking what other causes are there for other aquired immune deficiencies besides hiv/aids, then there are several. A new one was just reported this week from an nih team. Sometimes these are called "other secondary immunodeficiency" rather than "other acquired immunodeficiency syndromes (aids)". See an immunologist.
