Which acronym stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome?

AIDS AFR HIV PCC

Correct Answer:

AIDS

Explanation:

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome is the name of the late-stage consequence of HIV infection. AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, describing a state where the immune system is severely weakened, making the body vulnerable to opportunistic infections and certain cancers. HIV, the other option, is the virus that attacks the immune system and, while it leads to AIDS if not treated, is not the syndrome itself. The remaining terms do not describe this condition. So the acronym that expands to the disease’s name is the one that correctly represents the syndrome.
