Hello, I am a doctor who works in HIV prevention and I am happy to answer your questions.

I can tell you responsibly that HIV-infected people can live as long as a normal person or even longer after diagnosis if they take their medication properly.

1981inKen Horne of San Francisco, U.S., diagnosed with world's first AIDS caseAt the time of the epidemic, there was little awareness of the disease and no medical treatment. For the next fifteen years, even the best trained doctors were powerless to deal with it, and thousands of patients suffered from the severe wasting, fever and infection that gave AIDS the name "super cancer" in the 1980s - not only lethal, but also contagious. -Not only is it deadly, it is also contagious.At that time, the average person infected with AIDS lived 10 years.

1987After the first AIDS drug was introduced.The patient's survival time increased by another 10 years。

1996Prof. Da-Yi Ho, a Chinese scientist, invented theCocktail therapy for AIDS, multi-drug combinations.An HIV-infected person can live for forty years if they stay on their medication for a long time.

A person who contracted HIV at age 20 and was detected through timely testing and received treatment could live an average of another 55 years.

in other words，A young person who is infected with AIDS, with modern technology, modern drugs, early detection, early treatment, can live to be 75 years old, which is almost the same as our average life expectancy.

Li Taisheng, Director, Department of Infection, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing, ChinaAlso stated:"For people with AIDS, we never talk about 5-10 years of survival, but 20, 30 or even 50 years. AIDS is already a chronic internal disease that can be treated!”

So my friend, get well, live well, and look forward to the day when AIDS is cured!

HIV-infected people who take their medication on time and for life should live no less than the life expectancy of their infected parents.

This is something you can live to a normal lifespan as long as you take your medication normally and don't stop in between.

No one can answer with certainty the question of how long you can live. If the infection is confirmed, take the medication as soon as possible, take the medication on time every day, follow up regularly, maintain good adherence to the antiviral medication, and slowly change the HIV infection from a psychological condition to a chronic disease like high blood pressure or diabetes. Adjust your mindset, eat regularly, live an active life, and just live well.
