Whenever you are writing a comparison/contrast paper (paragraph, essay, research paper), you need to plan it out very carefully on paper first.
Try this:
1. Write all the information about one of your topics on one page.
2. Write all the information about the other topic on another page.
3. Then put them together in this order:
1. Intro
2. All about topic A
~~~2A. detail 1
~~~2B. detail 2
~~~2C. detail 3
~~~2D. detail 4
~~~2E. detail 5
3. All about topic B
~~~3A. detail 1
~~~3B. detail 2
~~~3C. detail 3
~~~3D. detail 4
~~~3E. detail 5
4. Concl.
The number of details for each topic will vary depending on your main points. I would include comparisons (how they are similar) in the introduction and conclusion, but sections 2 and 3 and all those details will be stating and explaining how they are different.
There are two recognized patterns for writing comparison/contrast papers. One is casually referred to as "zig-zag,” but can be very confusing for the reader if you don’t use transitions effectively. The other is topic-by-topic (which is what I've outlined above) and is much easier for the reader to follow.

Once you have organized your information, please repost if you’d like feedback from someone here.

The difference between HIV/AIDS are what they mean. HIV stands for Human Immudefiency Virus (HIV), (AIDS) Acquired Immudefiency Disease Syndrom. Hiv is what is called at the beginner when you are not having that many problems with different parts of our body along with how strong our immune system is to fight off virus. I am a person that is living with the disease of HIV. Been living with it since 1992 when I was tested for it through a court order test for HIV.
