If someone is not on meds for HIV how does it start to effect the body?
Suppose a person has HIV but doesn't know it and is not on meds for the same. Then how will the HIV start to take a toll on its body?
Will he start falling ill frequently, and how frequently is frequently? Once every month? Once every week? I have read that HIV leads to thrush on mouth, so will this person's tongue turn covered in thrush.
The basic point is suppose someone missed when he got infected. Then what exactly will alert him going forward that he has HIV.
Also upon a later diagnosis what is the life span likely to be?

Hi,
Well no I dont have a specific issue. However I was wondering about how HIV would start to effect the body and how fast downhill is the slope.
Is there any point after HIV starts to effect the body that something could still be done about HIV, or is it that once HIV starts to impact the body thats it?

This is an hiv prevention forum, not a biology class for people who don't have any medical training but want to fixate on hiv. Maybe you can find a college that will have a class on that.
