In the United States, we do not use a stage classification for AIDS purposes. HIV positive patients either have AIDS or they don't.
However, the WHO (World Health Organization) does use a classification system. Every classification after stage 1 requires the patient to have demonstrated certain criteria.

Then is a period that is very quiet (the virus is busy making more of the virus). Next will be rather odd infections like TB and even tumors. Both happen because your immune system has been suppressed by the virus. The last stage is called AIDS.
