AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a diagnosis and not a disease. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes someone to develop AIDS.

HIV is an important bloodborne disease. More people will die from HIV infection during the 21st century than died in all the wars of the 20th century combined.
