You can HIV and not AIDS but I don't think you can get AIDs wihout HIV as by definition AIDS is either HIV + one of 23 symptoms OR HIV + a low CD4 cell count. If you just have a low CD4 cell count or you just have "Kaposi Sarcoma" then that is not AIDS. but COMBINE that with the prevalence of HIV and you then have AIDS.
