AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a diagnosis that someone who is infected with HIV receives from a medical provider when they have met certain clinical criteria. AIDS is not a living organism, just a diagnosis.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes someone to develop AIDS. HIV is very bad at living outside the body. After expsure to air, the virus will die within a few minutes. Any use of a chemical like lysol would most likely be effective. Bleach would also be recommended.
