Is Sjogren's triggered by autoimmune cross-targeting? So many suspects..can we divide up sjogren's into several types?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis:  the layering of 2 different infections on one target triggers autoimmune disease.

A viral infection marking the inside of the target then an external infection marking the outside. One of each is needed to trigger autoimmunity.

Sjogren's: autoimmune disease of the salivary glands (target tissue)

external infection suspects that could be marking the outside of the gland:

mycoplasmas with RA associations
fungal with hoshimoto's thyroid
spirochetes with lichen sclerosis

viral internal infection suspects:

EBV/HHV8 (using alpha estrogen receptors)
retroviruses (using thrombopoietin receptors..RANK?)
hepatitis C (using mc1 receptors)
??? HPV16 (using CB1 receptors)????

estrogen alpha receptor is involved with salivary cancer

(i think the EBV uses the alpha estrogen receptors)

which CB receptors are there?

both CB1 and CB2

mainly CB1?

If CB1 then HPV16?

I can't tell if this is truly the lyme spirochete or not.

do spirochetes in humans move to the salivary gland like they do in ticks?

EOL, SJ and hepatitis C?
