Easy, if you know what the names mean.
HIV is the name of a virus that attacks the immune system.
We're always surrounded by viruses, and they're generally not a problem as long as the immune system is able to fight them off.
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
This is a clumsy way of saying that the immune system has gotten weaker, and is failing because of being under attack by the HIV virus.
Today there are medicines that can help the immune system resist the damage from the HIV virus. We can't get rid of the virus completely, but we can keep it from beating the immune system.
The result is a person can have the virus, but not have AIDS, as AIDS only comes when the immune system is weakened and beaten.

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.
HIV is the virus and AIDS is the disease. You get HIV and once it starts attacking your body you get AIDS. In lucky people, they can have HIV without ever getting AIDS but sadly, this is not true for everyone.
