What to expect if I have HIV AIDS  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
Right now, there is no cure for AIDS. It is always fatal if no treatment is provided. In the US, most patients survive many years after diagnosis because of the availability of medicines such as HAART. HAART and medicines like it have dramatically increased the amount of time people with HIV remain alive.
Research continues in the areas of drug treatments and vaccine development. Unfortunately, HIV medications are not always available in the developing world, where the bulk of cases now occur. </s>
