What is the main difference between HIV and AIDS?

I read the newspaper recently (I think when December 1st AIDS day).
It said about research at some area some people infected by HIV and other AIDS. I don't get it until now, what i have been knew that HIV and AIDS are the same thing. Can anyone explain it the difference? I really appreciate if you give me scientific answers! Thanks before!

HIV infection is a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The condition gradually destroys the immune system, which makes it harder for the body to fight off infections.
AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is the final and most serious stage of HIV disease, which causes severe damage to the immune system.

HIV is the virus that can lead to AIDS. HIV destroys the immune system by killing cells our bodies use to fight infections (CD4 cells). When the CD4 count drops to 200 or below, diagnosis changes to AIDS. As the CD4 count drops, the person becoms more and more vulnerable to all other infections, including colds, flu, pneumonia, and others, any of which could kill someone whose immune system is severely damaged.

Here is a video that explain the difference between HIV and AIDS

Center for Disease Control (CDC).

HIV is the virus that gives you AIDS...It's controllable. Once it emerges to full blown AIDS then you get very sick and die

AIDS is classified by a T-cell count below 200
