We can see symptoms of aids after how many days and life span one left after getting affected with the same...

plz mention the age bracket he/she will live from min to max limit and all thing in Detail...containing related with it...

If you live in an industrialized part of the world with access to the latest pharmacological medications, existing with the HIV virus and AIDS isn't the certain death sentence that it once was. Treatments are available which can extend the lifespan of a sufferer of AIDS to nearly normal limits, and postpone the inevitability of an HIV-infected person from developing AIDS almost indefinitely.

Of course, those treatments involve medications that have strong, unpleasant side effects, and scientists have been increasingly searching for a preventative vaccine of some kind over the last few years. Hopefully they're getting closer to finding one.

One of the extenuating circumstances in this process has been the HIV viruses's uncanny ability to develop resistance to various drugs and spawn quick viral variations, thus rendering itself a fast-moving target.

As for symptoms, that varies. The earlier one determines he has the HIV virus and begins receiving effective treatment, the longer he can potentially delay the onset of AIDS.

Many people do not develop any symptoms when they first become infected with HIV. Some people, however, get a flu-like illness within three to six weeks after exposure to the virus. This illness, called Acute HIV Syndrome, may include fever, headache, tiredness, nausea, diarrhea and enlarged lymph nodes (organs of the immune system that can be felt in the neck, armpits and groin). These symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month and are often mistaken for another viral infection.

During this period, the quantity of the virus in the body will be high and it spreads to different parts, particularly the lymphoid tissue. At this stage, the infected person is more likely to pass on the infection to others. The viral quantity then drops as the body's immune system launches an orchestrated fight.

More persistent or severe symptoms may not surface for several years, even a decade or more, after HIV first enters the body in adults, or within two years in children born with the virus. This period of "asymptomatic" infection varies from individual to individual. Some people may begin to have symptoms as soon as a few months, while others may be symptom-free for more than 10 years. However, during the "asymptomatic" period, the virus will be actively multiplying, infecting, and killing cells of the immune system.

Later symptoms of AIDS include:

rapid weight loss
dry cough
recurring fever or profuse night sweats
profound and unexplained fatigue
swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck
diarrhea that lasts for more than a week
white spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat
pneumonia
red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders
