Why is it said that if a person has molluscum contagiosum they may be likely to have other stds?

firstly molluscum contagiosum isnt even truly and std, so im confused there but even if you got it from sexual contact why would having it mean you are more likely to have other stds? ive also heard its a sighn that you could have aids? why the heck would it have anything to do with aids?
Answer:
Several questions here.Mollusca can be passed on during sex, but they are also common in children who aren't sexually active. There are actually a few different molluscum viruses, some of which are more likely to be passed on sexually than others.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/molluscum_c...People with AIDS have a problem with a specific type of immune function, and bugs that are usually kept under control by that type of immune function can become a problem. One of those bugs is the molluscum virus. People with HIV-damaged immune systems tend to get more mollusca than people with normal immune systems.Mollusca tend to spread if they are cut or broken. People who shave their pubic hair sometimes nick a molluscum and spread them around the pubic area.Generally, if doctors identify one sexually transmissible infection it alerts them to look for others. However if you have mollusca it doesn't necessarily mean you have other STIs. They're very common.
Molluscum contagiosum is not a sign of AIDS, but is an infectious viral disease that can be spread during sexual intercourse.
Why is molluscum contagiosum linked with AIDS? Because people with AIDS can have a lot of them, as the viral infection is getting worse because their immunity is very low
