Stiffman's syndrome and cross-targeting autoimmunity

 Hypothesis: The cross-targeting of infections at the same tissue causes autoimmune disease.  One infection marks the outside while another marks the inside...only then does the immune system become confused and attack. A virus marks the inside of the kidney while an infections marks the outside.

Herpes vaccine and stiffman (genital herpes)

mycoplasmas infect the nerve and then the herpes exposure causes cross-targeting on nerves by the immune system?
