AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
By name, we can understand a lot about the disease.
 It is Acquired, meaning that it must be transmitted from an outside source.
It affects the Immune system, and causes a
Deficiency.This means that it causes the body's natural defenses to be worn down.
And it is a Syndrome, which means that it is a general name for a number of common symptoms.
AIDS is not a virus in itself.
It is simply a name for the later stages of HIV.
