What are the affects of aids and hiv?

What are the chances of dying from it, and how long is treatment?

I dont have it, just interested.

HIV is a virus and can work its way out of the body naturally especially if your immune system is good. HIV does NOT lead to aids, its the medication that you tale that leads to aids.

More people live who do not take the HIV medicine than those who do!
Dont take the medicine!!!
Go to you tube and type in Dr Gallo, he was financed by the US government in the sixties to come up with a deadly virus to reduce the black population in Africa. They named it Aids! And now they are trying to vaccinate the whole black population of Africa and the vaccinations include the aids virus!!! Mass genocide, but hey you wont find a word of this in the mainstream media because it is controlled by the powerful elites.


Back in 1976, the following ad began appearing in New York newspapers:
Last Chance for gay men to join the Hepatitis B* Vaccine Program!
*A sexually transmitted disease. Enrollment closes in June, after which the vaccine may not be available for several years. Take the FREE blood test to determine your HEPATITIS B status and eligibility for the program.
Over 1000 gay men took the free vaccination at a time when there was no such disease as AIDS. Then, by 1978 the infection began popping up all over the gay community. Strangely enough, it was predominate among the volunteers who had taken the free Hepatitis B vaccine. Within 5 years, 60 % of these men were infected with HIV.
[Ed. It goes without saying that you should avoid ANY government sponsored vaccine program, no matter how noble the cause may seem].

The program had been repeated the next year in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and as in New York, shortly after the vaccination for Hepatitis B, the west coast volunteers also began presenting with symptoms of AIDS.

In Africa, in 1977, a free vaccination against Smallpox was offered to the Black citizens of the countries with "population problems". The cost was borne by the United States Health Agencies as a "humanitarian gesture". Again, within 5 years, over 60 % of the recipients presented with the HIV virus, and, today well over 20 million face death from AIDS.

HIV is the infection that a person can get after being exposed to the virus. A diagnosis of AIDS depends on the T-cell count of the infected individual. 2 Things can cause an AIDS diagnosis, the T-cell county dropping below 200, or a series of opportunistic infection can allow a Doctor to give an AIDS diagnosis.

I read an article a couple of weeks ago stating someone infected with HIV now could expect at least a 35 year life expectancy, if not longer. With the treatment of combinations of drugs people are living a lot longer, in the 80"s when some one was diagnosed with HIV it was usually 18-24 months before they passed, yet I know people who have been infected for 25+ years and are still doing well

The biggest problem I see now days people who are lone term survivors are now having other problems, kidney failure, respiratory problems, liver failure and heart failure from some of the medications.

Once a person goes on the meds, it is a life time treatment, maybe there is a drug "holiday" in there somewhere, but not to often.

It varies person to person, but thank goodness for the meds as people are living a lot longer now days.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection results from 1 of 2 similar retroviruses (HIV-1 and HIV-2) that destroy CD4+ lymphocytes and impair cell-mediated immunity, increasing risk of certain infections and cancers. Initial infection may produce nonspecific febrile illness. The risk of subsequent manifestations鈥攔elated to immunodeficiency鈥攊s proportional to the level of CD4+ lymphocytes. Manifestations range from asymptomatic carriage to the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), which is defined by serious opportunistic infections or cancers. HIV infection is diagnosable by antibody or antigen testing. Treatment aims to suppress HIV replication by combinations of drugs that inhibit HIV enzymes.
There is still no cure for HIV. However, the disease is no longer an imminent death sentence thanks to the major advances in HIV research and drug development over recent years.
With treatment, people with HIV can live for decades with the condition.
However, HIV medicines are not widely available in many poor countries around the world.
Millions of people are still dying prematurely from HIV/AIDS.
Of the 6.5 million people in developing and transitional countries who need life-saving AIDS drugs, only 1 million are receiving them.
