See, a disease is something which gets treated over a certain period of time. But a syndrome is something chronic, and it is not a single disease, it's a whole lot of diseases which you get due to a reason, which in the case of AIDS, is HIV, which weakens our immune system, making us prone to a whole lot of other diseases.
Syndrome is something which cannot be easily cured, even if it is, it may relapse. And that is what happens when a person gets AIDS. Till now, we cannot completely treat someone who has AIDS, it's just that their living years can be increased somewhat.
Hope this helps.
