Without treatment how long could you live from the time of infection to the time of death?

My friend got divorced 8 years ago. She found out 2 months ago that he was in the hospital dying from a brain tumor caused by aids. Over the past 2 years he has had symptoms such as shingles, diarreah, and weight loss. Until reading these articles I didn't even know they were signs. He wasn't one to go to the dr. for anything because he had no insurance. Is it possible he didn't know he had it until 2 months ago?

If he didnt think anything of these illnesses or had a worry of aids then it is possible

symptoms means NOTHING when diagnosing hiv and aids..

the only way to tell if you have HIV is a blood test at 3 months post exposure...
