I'm being annoying and pedantic here, but HIV is the virus. AIDS is the condition it leads to where your immune system is totally compromised and you can from something as simple as a cold.

Yes. Very pedantic.

The virus that causes AIDS, the AIDS virus if you will, is technically named the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, because naming it the "AIDS virus" would have been too easy, and Fauci needed to look like he was busy in order to milk more grant money.

Thanks for the totally unnecessary clarification, fren. 🐸👌

Kinda.

And HIV+ diagnosis is what makes the disease “AIDS.” If you don’t test positive for HIV then you just have cancer or whatever. But if you do have HIV, now they call that same exact cancer “AIDS.”

Kinda like how if you die in a motorcycle accident but don’t test positive for COVID then it’s death by motorcycle, but if you test positive for COVID now it’s a “COVID death.”

Would you be surprised that Anthony Fauci was involved in both of these farces?
