Best Answer

It is possible for someone to be infected with HIV for a very long time before they experience any symptoms or signs of infection.

Some people may be infected for years without knowing. The amount of time varies depending on the person's lifestyle and how their body responds to the infection.

Regular HIV testing is the only way to know one's status.

It is possible to be infected with HIV for many years without knowing. The only way to know if you are infected is to get tested. HIV does not cause a person to exhibit reliable signs or symptoms of infection.
