AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) isn't a disease -- it's a lack of effective immune response cause by HIV (Human ImmunoVirus).
So AIDS is diagnosed by the existence of opportunistic signal diseases (Kaposi's sarcoma, pneumonia karini, etc.), a compromised immune system, a positive test for HIV, and a low CD4 cell count (T-cells -- part of your immunse system -- low is concidered <200 cells per blood cm3, which of course requires a blood sample).
