AIDS is also short for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. This syndrome represents the late clinical state of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), resulting in progressive damage to the immune system and in life-threatening infectious and noninfectious complications.

Thanks for the additional information, Afrochic. Since the post was referring to the general condition (which is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), I posted my notes in that context to provide information and/or clarity.
