AIDS is the immune deficiency-causing virus, and that begins (usually) way after an HIV infection takes place — months, years. So until then, they’d still need to take immunosuppressants.

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) the illness, whereas a HIV infection (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is its cause.
Hopefully they are administered before too much damage to the immune system is done.
And hopefully the treatment regimen is adhered to, because the virus can become resistant.
It is so much better to not have the virus in the first place.
