Until new drugs were introduced in 1996 to stabilize the virus, life expectancies varied. After the onset of the disease AIDS from the HIV virus, it could be as little as 6 months to a couple of years at best.

Now, with a wide array of new drugs, a person with HIV can expect to live a full life with certain restrictions and daily medications, for life, at this point. There are of course, for whatever reason, rare exceptions to this.
