Some people commented that we say "le SIDA" and not "la SIDA". My example with AIDS was for the difference between the name of a virus and the name of its effects (disease, syndrome, etc.). I didn't mean that one is always masculine and the other always feminine. SIDA (AIDS) designates a syndrome (masculine in French) and not a disease. It's a technical difference we (people who are not experts) generally don't make, but this difference is why we say "le SIDA". AIDS in French is "(le) syndrome d'immunodéficience acquire". COVID (coronavirus disease) in French is "(la) Maladie à coronavirus" (there is no equivalent to the acronym "COVID").
