Here's how it works: HIV is the name of a virus that attacks the immune system, makes it weaker. Eventually the immune system fails completely, which makes the person wide open to any and all diseases. The name for when this happens is AIDS. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Meaning your immune system has gotten really weakened. Meaning you catch a lot of other diseases easily. Eventually one of them, or several of them working together, is what kills you.
