Does everyone who gets HIV get AIDS?

No, you can be HIV positive and never develop AIDS....

Not necessarily. With treatment, many people who have HIV can live relatively healthy for many years before their diagnosis changes to AIDS. It is important to remember, though, that not everyone responds well to the medications.

No, HIV can remain latent and inactive for many years. However, it is extremely likely that someone who has HIV will develop AIDS at some point in their life.
