Help! how does the cold virus differ from hiv virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Totally different: The common cold which causes upper respiratory tract infections is caused by more than 200 different types of virus. The HIV virus is part of the family known as human retroviruses. The differences and similarities are far too lengthy to discuss in this type of setting.
