Step-by-step explanation:

hiv is a virus that attacks the immune system meanwhile aids is a term that can only be used when hiv has caused severe damage to the immune system.

aids is a syndrome that may develop in time in a person with hiv who does not receive treatment. people can have hiv without developing aids first, but it is not possible to have aids without first having hiv.

hope this helps <3
