Question: Is there more than one type of AIDS and if so what are they and what are their characteristics.?
Answers:
Yes, there's different strains of HIV. That's why even if you're HIV+ you still want to use protection during sex with other HIV+ people, since you could contract a different strain. Many of the strains are drug-resistant to one or more of the common drugs used to fight HIV. So, if you have multiple drug-resistant strains, your drug options are more limited.Health Question & Answer

There are different strains of HIV (some more virulent, some less), but AIDS refers to a combination of conditions and/or illnesses than result from a deficient immune system caused by HIV. For example, some poor soul may succumb after a bout with Kaposi's sarcoma, another may lose their battle due to pneumcystic pneumonia.Health Question & Answer
