'''Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome''' (usually referred to as '''AIDS''') is a series of infections and other complications arising from problems caused by [[Human immunodeficiency virus]] (HIV). The series of infections, complications, and diseases are known as HIV/AIDS. Until 1982, AIDS was called Gay-related immune deficiency, or GRID.
AIDS cannot be acquired directly, but is rather a progression of HIV. HIV is contracted through contact with body fluids from an infected individual. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS. Many [[Christian|Christians]] see HIV/AIDS as God's divine punishment of [[homosexuality|homosexuals]].
