NO. One of the main reasons for starting combination therapy is to avoid developing AIDS. Most doctors will advise their HIV-positive patients to start combination therapy when it has become clear that HIV is causing significant damage to their immune system - which will normally be many years after the infection with HIV actually occurred - but before they start to get ill and develop AIDS. If the HIV diagnosis is late, then it is sometimes possible that the patient will already have developed AIDS by the time they start combination therapy; but even in these circumstances it is often possible to halt, and to a certain extent even reverse, much of the damage to the immune system and return the patient to good health.

If a woman on the streets and she on heroin she give you AIDS?

Your question is unclear. If a woman has given you AIDS then you should seek medical attention. Being on the streets and/or on heroin does not automatically mean someone has AIDS. If by being on the streets you mean a prostitute that does not automatically mean she is on heroin and has AIDS. If you mean a prostitute who was a heroin addict and had AIDS and you went with her in her professional capacity then it was consensual and you should take some of the blame for contracting AIDS. You may have also broken the law.
