HIV is the virus that can lead to AIDS. Standard initial testing is a test to detect antibodies to HIV. Testing can be done by oral swab or blood test. If the initial test is positive, followup blood testing is done to confirm that you have HIV. HIV kills CD4 cells. Once the CD4 count drops to 200 or below, diagnosis changes from HIV to AIDS.
