Why is HIV called the HIV Virus?

Why is it called the HIV Virus if the acronyms has virus in it? I need this in a hurry for school, get extra credit that I NEED %26gt;.%26gt;
Answer:
For the same reason people say ATM machine and PIN number. :)I think it's just a linguistic thing. People feel like it's clearer. I don't hear a lot of medical professionals adding virus to the end, they just say "HIV."
It stand s for Human Immuno Defieciency Virus.Thats why.TC
