Best Answer

AIDS means Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The terms STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) and STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) refer to infections that are acquired sexually. AIDS is a diagnosis that someone who is HIV+ receives from their medical provider if they meet the clinical criteria for diagnosis.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS and it is able to be transmitted sexually. The terms STI and STD are often interchangeable and used to describe a variety of bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections.
