When do hiv turn into aids?

From what I've researched, the average person will have almost 10 years before their HIV infection becomes AIDs. About a tenth of those infected will have full blown aids within 2 to 3 years. Remember that with proper antiviral treatments and care from a specialist, you could go much longer without symptoms. Magic Johnson has gotten the level of the virus in his blood so low that it is not detectable by most tests, and he announced that he was infected in 1991.

When the CD4 count drops to 200 or below, diagnosis changes from HIV+ to AIDS. CD4 cells help us fight infections. When this cell count drops, the body can no longer fight off infections, making the person more susceptible to colds, flu, pneumonia, and other illnesses, any of which could then kill the person.

from what ive read its when your CD4 count is below 200 and you have to keep an eye on your viral load.

When the blood count is below 250.........that's the newest number.
