acquired immunodeficiency syndrome en · NOUN

Pronunciation

  • (Southern-England) audio

Etymology

Introduced on July 27, 1982 at a Washington, D.C. meeting that involved gay-community leaders, federal bureaucrats, and representatives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was created as a replacement for the former term for the disease, gay-related immunodeficiency (GRID), which was deemed misleading after determining that AIDS was not isolated to the gay community.

Meanings

  1. (uncountable) A medical condition caused by advanced infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), characterized by a low CD4⁺ cell count or a range of clinical presentations (such as specific opportunistic infections and cancers).
  2. (broadly, uncountable) A medical condition caused by advanced infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), characterized by a low CD4⁺ cell count or a range of clinical presentations (such as specific opportunistic infections and cancers). ▸ Synonym of HIV/AIDS.
