Before I begin I want to say that AIDS means Auto-Immune-Deficiency-syndrome, which means AIDS is a condition that can be reversed. It's not some ravage disease that cannot be cured. (that is just my opinion though).
I weigh 260 lbs. If lose 30 pounds in one month, that might increase my odds of testing positive. Even if I have AIDS here in the states, I might not have AIDS in Canada.
I would have my class watch a documentary called Bad Blood - A Cautionary Tale. It's one of the best documentaries about AIDS that I've ever watched.
AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a disease caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The illness alters the immune system, making people much more vulnerable to infections and diseases. This susceptibility worsens as the disease progresses.

Both the virus and the disease are often referred to together as HIV/AIDS. People with HIV have what is called HIV infection. As a result, some will then develop AIDS. The development of numerous opportunistic infections in an AIDS patient can ultimately lead to death.
According to research, the origins of HIV date back to the late nineteenth or early twentieth century in west-central Africa. AIDS and its cause, HIV, were first identified and recognized in the early 1980s
