HIV/AIDS is a sexually-transmitted disease: you can only get it if (a) your parent (or parents) have HIV/AIDS, in which case you might be a carrier or an actual patient, or by having sexual intercourse. HIV/AIDS are pretty much the same, but HIV is the name of the condensed early stages. And AIDS is the later, more serious issue.

HIV is the virus that can lead to AIDS. HIV damages the immune system by killing cells that help us fight infections. Once that cell count drops to 200 or below, diagnosis changes to AIDS. People whose immune systems have been severely damaged by HIV can die from infections such as colds, flu, pneumonia, and many others. There is no cure for HIV, but medications can help many people who have HIV live healthier, longer. HIV can be transmitted by unprotected sex with someone who is infected, sharing needles for drug use with someone who is infected, or it can be transmitted from a woman to her child during birth or breastfeeding. HIV is NOT transmitted by saliva or by casual contact.
