In which year was the AIDS virus named?

Explanation

In 1981, AIDS was first recognized as a new disease, but the virus was unknown. By 1983, the virus was discovered independently by French and American scientists and was temporarily called LAV and HTLV-III. Finally, in 1986, the official name HIV was adopted to avoid confusion. Later, in the 1990s, more details about the virus and its types (HIV-1 and HIV-2) were uncovered, but the name HIV remained standard.
