Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, sexually transmitted, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging the immune system, HIV interferes with the body's ability to fight infection and disease-causing weakness to the immune system.

Methods to get rid of the disease:
Prevention:
There's no vaccine discovered until now to prevent HIV infection and no cure for AIDS. But we can protect ourselves and others from infection.
To help prevent the spread of HIV:
-Use treatment as prevention as there is no cure.
-Use a new condom every time you have sex and avoid multiple partner sex.
-Tell your sexual partners if you have the disease and not to hide, that is to have a mutual understanding.
-Use a clean needle during injections and blood transfusions.
-If you're pregnant, get immediately the consultation of a doctor.
Infecting agent:
HIV(Human immunodeficiency virus) is the causative agent of this disease, in which HIV-1 is a common virus and is the main virus responsible for causing this disease worldwide.
So the correct answer is ‘Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome’.

Note: Immune deficiency syndrome is AIDS. Caused by a virus of HIV that is Human immunodeficiency virus. A deadliest viral infection. Hence prevention is the only cure.
