No, AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, a disease that makes it difficult for the body to fight off Infectious Diseases. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)causes AIDS by infecting and damaging part of the body's defenses against infection, namely the white blood cells known as CD4 helper lymphocytes (pronounced: lim-fuh-sites).

You can not have AIDS but not having HIV. Using protection during sex, not sharing needles, and staying away from blood can lower your chance of getting HIV.

married couples

Absolutely not. Blood tests exist so that couples will not be at risk for HIV, AIDS or other diseases.
How come if people with AIDS don't donate blood people who use donated blood sometimes get AIDS?
All blood donations are screened well before use, but even with the tests used there is still a slight (one in tens of millions) chance that an infected lot will get through. There is also the risk of getting HIV/AIDS from the transfusion and not the blood itself; recipients are just as likely to get the disease from other sources as the whole procedure.
