What does the acronym AIDS stand for?

  1. arterial blood gases

  2. acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

  3. activity as tolerated

  4. acid fast bacillus

The correct answer is: acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a type of immunodeficiency disorder caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The other options, arterial blood gases (A), activity as tolerated (C), and acid fast bacillus (D), are all medical terms unrelated to AIDS. Choosing any of these options would not accurately answer the question. It is important to understand the meaning and context of each option in order to accurately select the correct answer.
