An allergy is simply immunity fighting the wrong enemy. It can happen when a person's immune system reacts improperly to things which are usually harmless and treats them like parasites attacking the body. Allergies often only cause a lot of inconvenience (like runny noses and pesky rashes), but sometimes, they can even be life threatening.

HIV is a bloodborne virus. It does not have an intelligence as to who it infects. It is not a gay disease. It is not just a sexually transmitted disease. If you work as an EMT or nurse, you risk getting it. If you were given a blood transfusion in the 80s [or in Mexico and Central America still] you were at risk of getting it. If you play physically violent sports, you risk getting it. MMA fighters???? absolutely at risk. Like so many things in border cities, the education and ignorance about HIV is pre-1985. But yes, if you are going out this weekend looking for cheap drunken sex with any gender, you are at risk of HIV or at least one of the more common STDs around here. You may know more about HIV on the dating and support site POZmingle. Good luck to you all!
