Answers:

These days the treatment for HIV is very effective and the average is about 20-30 years before developing AIDs, though some have had lifelong HIV without ever developing AIDs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no one answer to this question because everyone is different!. Estimates of the average length of time for progression from HIV to AIDS are being developed!. Before antiretroviral therapy became available in 1996, scientists estimated that AIDS would develop within 10 years in about half the people with HIV!. Since 1996, new medical treatments have been developed that can prevent or cure some of the illnesses associated with AIDS, though they cannot cure AIDS itself!.

Various factors, including your genetic makeup, can influence the time between HIV infection and the development of AIDS!.

Time between HIV infection and AIDS

older age
infection with more than one type of HIV
