Difference between AIDS and HIV :

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Nearly everyone who becomes infected with HIV develops AIDS over a period of years. AIDS is a serious condition in which the immune system is severely weakened, turning normally mild or rare diseases into potentially fatal conditions.

The importance of testing for HIV :

Anyone can become infected with HIV. Most HIV-infected people look and feel healthy and have no signs of being sick. It is possible for them to infect others without even knowing it. It is a matter of what you do, not who you are. If you engage in risky behaviors, you have a chance of being infected.
