Die woordeboekbetekenis van VIGS is soos volg:VIGS (selfstandige naamwoord) - Verworwe immuungebreksindroom, 'n siekte wat veroorsaak word deur die menslike immuniteitsgebrekvirus (MIV) wat die liggaam se immuunstelsel aanval en dit kwesbaar laat tot lewensgevaarlike infeksies en kankers. VIGS word tipies oorgedra deur seksuele kontak, die deel van naalde of spuite, en van moeder tot kind tydens swangerskap, bevalling of borsvoeding. Daar is tans geen geneesmiddel vir VIGS nie, maar antiretrovirale terapie kan help om die siekte te bestuur en oordrag te voorkom.
