You are ‘technically’ correct when you state that you can not be infected with AIDS. AIDS is the symptom of the HIV virus. However having said that it is not uncommon that AIDS is referred to as a virus and it was in line with this , for want of a better word ‘tradition’ that my reference to AIDS as a virus iimplied.
But then most of us who know what we are talking about know this
An example
AIDS is the last stage in a progression of diseases resulting from a viral infection known as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV or AIDS virus). The diseases include a number of unusual and severe infections, cancers and debilitating illnesses, resulting in severe weight loss or wasting away, and diseases affecting the brain and central nervous system.
