Aids is not an std. Hiv is an std that can cause aids. You can get aids without having hiv (or any other std for that matter). You are labeled with the term "aids" when your white blood cell count falls below about 200 per microliter of blood. Aids cannot be spread between people, hiv can.

If you're worried about hiv, just go and get tested.
