Best Answer

Once a person with HIV progresses to have AIDS (in 8-10 years on the average), his immune system is so weak that many common infections begin to attack him. Diseases like Pneumonia, TB, some specific cancers, fatigue, vision loss, brain damage are commonly occurrences among AIDS patients. Death results eventually if these infections (called "opportunistic" infections) are unchecked.
