AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a condition which arises after infection with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). HIV is a lentivirus, part of the retrovirus family. There are two species: HIV-1 and HIV-2.
AIDS is not a type of microorganism, but rather, an effect of HIV infection. A person is considered to have AIDS when their CD4+ (a type of white blood cell) count is below 200 per µL of blood.
