Also, to get even more nitpicky on the AIDS thing, speaking as a former Red Cross HIV/AIDS peer educator, you can't just "get" AIDS. You can "get" HIV because that's the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS, however, is not a disease, it's a syndrome, and syndromes are, by definition, diagnosed as a result of separate symptoms and/or detectable characteristics. So you can "have" a T-cell count of less than 200 or you can "get" an opportunistic infection, both of which are symptoms of the syndrome AIDS, and then you can be diagnosed with AIDS, but you cannot just "get" AIDS.
Sorry for that, old habits die hard :P
