With the pronunciation [ˈeːt͡sː] (phonetic respelling: édsz): instrumental – AIDS-szel, translative – AIDS-szé.^[1]

With the pronunciation [ˈeːt͡s] (phonetic respelling: éc): instrumental – AIDS-cel, translative – AIDS-cé.^[2]

Eventually AIDS, a declinable form aidss and mērlis (as an "emotionally captivating" alternative) were officially approved for use by Terminoloģijas komisija. Only the acronym is currently in use.
