Answer:
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome: AIDS is caused by a virus called HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. If you get infected with HIV, your body will try to fight the infection. It will make antibodies, special molecules to fight HIV. Being HIV-positive, or having HIV disease, is not the same as having AIDS.
Explanation:
HIV is transmitted when a person who has measurable amounts of the virus in their body passes fluids directly into the bloodstream or through mucous membranes, cuts, or open sores of a person without HIV.
