How fast will you die if you got HIV?

Answer 1

WITHOUT access to medication a healthy person will die from HIV infection in 5-10 years. 10% of the population (Long Term Non-Progressors or LPNRs) in 10-20 years.

WITH access to medication data suggests a person infected between 1996 & 2008 will live 13 years LESS than a healthy non-infected person.

MANY factors affect these numbers and HOPEFULLY anyone infected today will have access to medication and see a cure during their lifetime.

Proper use of CONDOMS prevent HIV transmission 98% of the time.

Answer 2

It can take years before it is even noticeable. It can only be discovered over a bllod test. I would say it would normally take between 10 - 40 years more or less depending on the purpose. Abstaining from sex is the only way to prevent this.

Answer 3

It usually takes around 10 years for the immune system to stop working correctly, and then once that has happened, pretty much any kind of sickness you get will be likely to kill you.

Answer 4

Hypothetically speaking, one can live forever if taking medicine.
