how long dose someone with hiv live? can you still live a full life?
Question:
Answers:
Life expectancy is relative to where you live. In the US where we expect to live in our 80s it is not likely that an HIV infected individual will reach that mark - but they could very well make it to 50 and beyond. It really depends on how early a person is diagnosed. If a person is diagnosed as carrying the HIV virus and starts drug therapy they can successfully reduce the viral load and prevent getting AIDS for a considerable length of time. Even those with AIDS can live for quite a few years as long as each infection is treated aggressively.
There is NO set time for that.. You(one) can have the HIV virus and have it for the rest of their life ... or they can have it for another 3 weeks or 10 years and then the full blown AIDS takes over.. it cannot be foretold as to when a person will die from this disease.
