词汇 aids
词源
AIDS. As an acronym for acquired immune deficiency (or, more currently, immunodeficiency) syndrome, AIDS was first recorded in September 1982. It denotes an often fatal disease in which, according to one authority, “infectious or malignant tumors develop as a result of a severe loss of cellular immunity, which is itself caused by earlier infection with a retrovirus (HIV), transmitted in sexual fluids and blood.” The epidemic of AIDS remained unnamed for more than a year before the U.S. Centers for Disease Control gave a name to it. At one point it was called K.S.O.I. (Kaposi’s Sarcoma and Opportunis- tic Infection). In Africa it has since 1985 been called slim, after the extreme weight loss suffered by people afflicted with the disease.
