No. The formula for silver sulfide is ##Ag_2S##.
Silver ions have a charge of ##1^+## and sulfide ions have a charge of ##2^-##. The overall charge of silver sulfide must be zero. So for every sulfide ##2^-## ion there must be two silver ##1^+## ions.
The video below shows how to use a technique called the crisscross method to determine the formula unit for an ionic compound.

For silver sulfide…Do I write the chemical formula like so: AgS?
