Best Answer

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is not contagious. It is a diagnosis of someone with severely low immune function as a result of advanced HIV infection.

HIV (Human Immunedeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS. HIV is spread through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk. Coughing and sneezing does not present a risk for the transmission of HIV.

What is the solution of AIDS?

There is no cure for AIDS or HIV. You get HIV then develop AIDS. It's kind of like getting a cold then sneezing as a symptom where the cold is HIV and the sneezing is AIDS.
