AIDS is considered a syndrome because all the HIV does is weaken the immune system by attacking the T-cells and the subsequent symptoms that a person develops is due to disease a person sustains due to impaired immune system. So,AIDS itself does not have any symptoms.

AIDS is a syndrome because it Don't have symptoms of its own.

The HIV virus affects the immune system.

When the immune system is weakened, the person is prone to lot of diseases.

As a result, he may die. Thus AIDs is a syndrome and not a disease.
