Best Answer

AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) isn't a disease -- it's a lack of effective immune response cause by HIV (Human ImmunoVirus).

So AIDS is diagnosed by the existence of opportunistic signal diseases (Kaposi's sarcoma, pneumonia karini, etc.), a compromised immune system, a positive test for HIV, and a low CD4 cell count (T-cells -- part of your immunse system -- low is concidered <200 cells per blood cm3, which of course requires a blood sample).

When did Freddie mercury find out that he had aids?

Freddie Mercury diagnosed with AIDS at Easter of 1987. And in pictures that was taken since 1989 they arent happy. Freddie Mercury died of bronhical pneumonia caused of pschihologic causes from AIDS in November 24, 1991 in his London Apartment ''Garden Lodge''. At time of death he was dressed with everything white because Zoroastrians were dieng this way. With this you will understand more about the death. From Hutton's book: I flew downstairs and found Phoebe. By the time we got back upstairs, Freddie had wet the bed. Dave Clark didn't seem to have noticed. Peter looked over at me and asked: 'Shall we change the bedclothes?' 'We'd better,' I answered. 'If we don't and he wakes up he'll go absolutely ape-shit.' I don't know why I said that; perhaps it was my subconscious trying to make out that things were less serious than they were. Peter started changing the bed while I took care of Freddie. As I was about to change Freddie into a clean T-shirt and pair of boxer shorts, I asked Dave to leave the room for a few moments. It was when I was getting his shorts on that I felt him try to raise his left leg to help a little. It was the last thing he did. I looked down at him, knowing he was dead. 'Phoebe,' I cried out. 'I'm sorry, he's gone."
