The autonomic nervous system (ANS or visceral nervous system) is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system functioning largely below the level of consciousness, and controls visceral functions.
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.
Left without treatment, the majority of people infected with HIV will develop signs of HIV-related illness within 5â10 years, although this can be shorter. The time between acquiring HIV and an AIDS diagnosis is usually between 10â15 years, but sometimes longer.
