HIV/AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease. It can also be transmitted through sharing needles, or from mother to breastfeeding child or from prengant mothers to babies.
You cannot be given AIDS, only HIV. HIV has several stages. You start at the first stage, and as your condition worsens, you travel through all of them.
The last stage is called AIDS.
So, how does HIV/AIDS affect a human life?
Sadly HIV/AIDS is nearly always fatal. This is because the infection attacks the white blood cells in the body. Without white blood cells, your body can't fix itself and fight off diseases and sickness.
It isn't actually HIV/AIDS that kills, but it is small things, like the flu, or pnemonia; because HIV/AIDS has destroyed the white bloood cells, and the body cannot fight off the basic sickness.
HIV/AIDS can be prevented by not sharing needles, and never have sex without a condom unless you are completely 100% sure that your partner has not got an STI, which usually means having a test.
Prescribed drugs can slow down the advancement of the Infeciton, but rarely can stop it completely.
