It isnt considered an STD because AIDS is the disorder that results from the HIV virus. you cant pass Immunodeficiancy from one person to another.
AIDS is not a STD, but HIV is the cause of AIDS and HIV is sexually transmitted.
Yes. It's transferred through the blood and sexual bodily fluids, so unprotected sex and sharing needles are the most common ways to infect someone/become infected. The virus itself (HIV) doesn't survive long outside of the body.

It is considered an STD because the majority of people infected are infected through unprotected sex.

However there are also some people who are infected through vaccines and blood transfusions.

Strictly speaking it is not exclusively an STD.
No HIV is the beginning stages of STDs. STDs is when it actually starts tearing down you imune system.

No, it can be contracted through exposure to infected bodily fluids, which can occur from sharing hypodermic syringes or through blood transfusions.

HIV is sexually transmitted. It is more accurate to say the sexually transmitted disease (STD) HIV results from having sex with someone who has the HIV virus.

STDs will not lead to HIV; but having a STD will make you more susceptible to catching HIV if exposed to the virus.
