Spread by body fluid contact such as sex. Not likely kissing though might happen. Mostly by blood. Which happens during sex.
This will destroy your immune system so that you will die of something like pneumonia.

Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. It attacks your immune system, and your T cells, making it hard for your body to fight off even the smallest infection. First, you get the HIV virus, and when your t cells are down to a certain level, or you meet any of the other criteria that diagnose you with AIDS, there are many, then you are confirmed with AIDS.

Everyone else is going to say the same thing....AIDS is a syndrome in which the T-cells a subtype of lymphocytes are infected with a virus which destroy these cells. The out come is that your body is unble to defend itself aginst a wide range of opertunistic infections...there is no cure

A sexually transmitted diesease, or can be transmitted by shared needles, or blood. The previous stage of AID's is HIV. AID's kills your immune system, and then you die. the earlier AID's is caught, the better chance you will survive longer. AID's stands for : auto immune defiency syndrome.

a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which kills or impairs cells of the immune system and progressively destroys the body's ability to fight infections and certain cancers. HIV is most commonly spread by sexual contact with an infected partner. The term AIDS applies to the most advanced stages of an HIV infection.

Aids is viral disease that affects human's immune system. Without it human cannot defend to microbes that under normal circumstances are harmless. There is no cure at the moment... so be carefull...

I think basically it is a disease that weakens the entire immune system. Thus AIDs does not directly kill you. It allows a cold or virus to kill you.

It's a politically correct disease, and on one is supposed to talk about it's primary cause.
