correction....

just a simple correction....


"HIV" stands for 'human immunodeficiency virus', so adding the word "virus" to the acronym creates a redundancy. "HIV" is the name of the organism that is the cause of AIDS, not a name of the disease itself. a person may be HIV-positive (a test shows the person to be infected with the virus) without having yet developed AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). 

HIV is the cause, AIDS is the result.
