嚴格來說, 只有 (1) 和 (3) 是對

(2) Do you know what is AIDS? ~ 文法上是錯, 或者 colloquil 講

This involves indirect questions. (~ one question within another question )

這個主題在 English grammar 書籍有言及

(3) Do you know what AIDS is? 是對

What AIDS is ~ indirect question in the above question.

What is AIDS? ~ direct question

We can ask a question indirectly by putting it into a sub-clause beginning with a question word wh-, "what".

There is no inversion in the sub-clause, "what ........."

If the main clause is a question, you can put question mark at the end.

Do you know what cyber bullying is? ~ correct

Correction:

Do you know what cyberbullying is?

"cyberbullying" is one word. I must be daydreaming!

They are two words in my book.

I just follow my book.

Thanks.

All of them are correct.

I think the last one should be "Do you know what AIDS is like?

(3) is correct.

"Do you know what AIDS is?"

"Do you know what cyberbullying is?"

cyberbullying may be one word, please check.

(2)what is AIDS=Subject +verb +direct object

=what is the meaning of the (word) AIDS ?

(3)what AIDS is=Subject +subject complement + predicate

=a noun clause

=what AIDS is.
