How might a person with AIDS be different from a person who is not infected?

To clarify slightly, nowadays researchers and medical professionals refer to those infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus as being "HIV Positive." "AIDS" (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) refers to an HIV-positive person who displays symtoms. In short, there is normally a "transitional" stage between a non-infected person and a person with AIDS, that stage being the person who is infected but has yet to display any symptoms -- HIV-positive.
The most striking difference between those with AIDS and those without is that the person with AIDS has a weakened (or "compromised") immune system, because the HI virus attacks the white blood cells that are key to the human body's defence against infection, cancers and other illnesses.
