AIDS (Real Estate)

Persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are protected under most federal and state discrimination laws. If buyers ask the real estate agent whether a prior occupant had AIDS, most agents point out that the law prevents responding one way or the other. Many states have emended their licensing laws to include that someone who has AIDS is not deemed a material fact, and therefore, does not form the basis for a claim that a broker concealed a material fact. Also protected are persons with AIDS-related complex (ARC) or human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV).

AIDS (Sex)

Acronym for acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

AIDS (Sexual Health)

AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. An HIV-infected person receives a diagnosis of AIDS after developing specific illnesses, or on the basis of certain blood tests that measure the strength of their immune system. A positive HIV test result does not mean that a person has AIDS.
