ART significantly extends the likelihood of surviving for several decades, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. If untreated, HIV-positive persons typically live in clinical latency for around 10 years. Individuals on ART are not likely to have their HIV infection reach the AIDS stage. If the viral infection progresses to that stage, survival is estimated at around three years.
Q: How long can people infected with HIV expect to live? In the early days of the epidemic, the answer would have been simple--and hard to take. After becoming infected with HIV, people could expect to get AIDS within about 10 years, and then live only 1 to 2 years more. But things have changed dramatically since then.ith proper medical care, people with HIV can expect to live much longer now than they could 20 years ago. We still can't tell exactly how long because many of the medications and tests have been around only for 15 years or less, and people are living longer than that.
