AIDS is the collection of symptoms caused by HIV infection.

It is possible to become immunocompromised by other means, but those symptoms are not called AIDS, because AIDS is used only in HIV context.

It is easiest to settle such arguments with a dictionary.

Yes, BMI is grossly inaccurate for fitness estimates.

Bodybuilders in show condition have 2-3% body fat, and a BMI of 35+. They are not fat, but have big dense muscles.

BMI may be generally ok to use for young people who do not exercise and don't have physically demanding work or hobbies.

For male members or the high school chess club, high BMI is likely to select overweight kids, but you can also just look, ffs
