Best Answer

AIDS is an acronym for Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS attacks the victims immune system making the body more prone to infection. In most cases you don't technically die from AIDS, but from an infection that the body would normally have been able to fight off.

AIDS specifically attacks white blood cells called Leukocytes.

One can contract AIDS from blood and other bodily fluids like semen. Most people get AIDS from sexual contact or from intravenous drug use(Heroin). To protect yourself from AIDS, it is important to use condoms and avoid hard drugs. Casual contact, like kissing, holding hands, or sharing a soda cannot transmit the virus.
