Answered by alishaabraham

this is because it is caused by a virus called HIV and disease affects only one part but where as syndrome affects multiple organs in our body. AIDS affect many parts like respiratory tract etc so it was called as syndrome

Answer:

AIDS is considered a syndrome not a disease because AIDS causing virus - HIV comes into the body via the sexual organs or any other means like blood transfusion and spread to lymph nodes all over the body.

The virus damages the immune system of the body and the body can no longer fight off even minor infections. Instead, every small cold can become pneumonia, or minor gut infection can become severe diarrhoea.

The effect of disease become very severe and complex, at times killing the person suffering from AIDS. Hence, there is no specific symptoms for AIDS but it results in a complex diseases and symptoms.
