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.
The last stage of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection is AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). Once you get an HIV infection, you have it for life, but it does not progress to AIDS in all people. With antiretroviral therapy treatment (ART) many people can live a normal life expectancy with HIV infection. FACT. HIV is not spread from casual contact, air, water, sharing dishes, toilet seats, or saliva.
