Someone could theoretically go their whole lives without knowing that they had contracted HIV, but it takes anywhere between five and ten years for it to manifest into symptoms. Basically, when a person becomes infected with HIV, their body fights a battle against the virus, which it slowly loses. The t-cells (the cells that tell your immune system to respond and fight off an illness) in your body are slowly taken over and destroyed by the virus. This takes a long time to do. But after enough t-cells are killed off, then your body should start to show symptoms like inflammation of the lymph nodes, fatigue, fever, weight loss, and a poor immune system.

∙ 14y agoPeople actually contrat HIV before becoming infected with AIDS. Some people can live for years with HIV with certain medications and treatment they can stop themselves from actually getting the AIDS virus. The problem with the AIDS virus is that its symptoms (fevers,night sweats , swollen glands, chills, weakness, and weight loss) are very similar with the common flu.
