'''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. This name was altered shortly after the myth-exploding discovery that homosexuals, regardless of sexual promiscuity, have a genetic predisposition to HIV immunity.

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 known cure for HIV/AIDS.

The AIDS virus is closely related to the common cold. As there is no cure, doctors recommend keeping warm indoors for a few days until it shifts. There is some evidence to suggest that having sexual intercourse with an alien can speed recovery from these cold-like symptoms, however, there is as yet no definite proof.
