A blood test can determine exposure to the HIV virus. HIV infection means the virus is in your body. AIDS is defined by certain opportunistic infections.

HIV is the virus that can lead to AIDS. HIV is found by a simple antibody test, called an Elisa test, a western blot test is the confirmatory test. HIV is a viral STD. The determination of AIDS is based on the T-Cell count, normal T-Cells for a person run between 800 and 1400, when the T-Cell drops below 200 it become an AIDS diagnosis, or if a HIV+ person has a lot of opportunistic infection a Doctor can make an AIDS diagnosis.

You are going to have to source your own data. HIV is the virus that ultimately may lead to AIDS. AIDS is when your immune system is so poor that a secondary infection puts you at the risk of death. This is years later, maybe 10-15 years as of 2000. Something as simple as a cold can trigger the total collapse of the human immune system if you have nothing left to fight it off.
