Best Answer

HIV is the beginning stage to AIDS. The introduction of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is what starts the condition. A human can carry this virus for up to 12 years (or longer with treatment) and eventually it will manifest as Acquired Immunodeficiency Sydrome (AIDS). HIV and AIDS are the same virus infection, where HIV presence is the first stage.
