This is a tough question to answer. Every Hiv infected person would respond in a different way to both treatment and the virus itself. The amount of CD4 cells(immune cells) in the blood will fall if the disease goes on untreated, and that's an important fact. In the beginning you won't have to treat the disease at all, since your body's capable of substaining a high level of CD4 cells. However after about 10 years, you're gonna have to start taking the drugs. You can live for another 30-40 years with HIV in your body, so please don't give up. And most likely they'll find a cure for it within that period of time..
