Full form of AIDS is Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome. Acquired means you have got infected with it. Immune Deficiency means a weakness in the body’s system, that fight diseases. Syndrome means a group of health problems that make up a disease. People suffering from AIDS have an increased risk of cancer. Moreover, they also show symptoms like fever, swollen glands, chills, weakness and weight loss. Thus, the HIV virus progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves a person susceptible to many infections and turners. Hence, AIDS is better considered as a syndrome rather than a disease.
