HIV vs. AIDS!?!??!?

is HIV a syndrome or a disease?
is AIDS a syndrome or a disease?

thank you all who answered

HIV is a virus, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. AIDS is the syndrome caused by HIV, Autoimmune Deficiency Syndrome.

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.

hiv is a virus and aids in a syndrome of the virus

HIV is the human immunodeficiency VIRUS.

AIDS is the Auto immune deficiency SYNDROME, caused by having the virus.

HIV is the virus (the disease) that attacks your immune system, killing your T-cells (white blood cells) until your T-cell count is below 200, at which point you have Auto-Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

HIV & AIDS are both diseases*

HIV- Human Immunodeficiency Virus is just that, a virus. Not a disease onto itself.

AIDS- AQUIRED Immune Deficiency Syndrome is a collection of diseases.

AUTOIMMUNE Deficiency Syndrome is an archaic term that has not been used since the early 1980's

This is all common knowledge that EVERYBODY knows and is taught in school just like they are taught about condoms and sex. That part is sarcasm.
