HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (say: ih-myoo-nuh-dih-fih-shun-see). AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. HIV is actually the virus that causes the disease AIDS. To understand AIDS formation process, we need to know what an Immune System is (say: ih-myoon). Every person has body protective system.
AIDS is a disease you get when HIV destroys your body's immune system. Normally, your immune system helps you fight off illness. When your immune system fails you can become very sick and can die from an illness as common as the flu. It is important to remember that AIDS is not synonymous with HIV.
