How long does it take to die from HIV?
Without treatment it takes about 10 years on average for an HIV+ person to develop full-blown AIDS from the time of infection. Once a person has symptoms of AIDS the majority of patients die within 2 years. However, with treatment people can live many years longer but they do not know yet know how long because potent drug treatment regimens are relatively new.
