Is that HIV infection can avoid to become AIDS??

is there any way to avoid HIV from developing to AIDS???

Yes, you can control it by adopting a healthy life style. Stay active by exercising, eating right, staying away from things that can damage your health such as SMOKING and ALCOHOL. Try to stay away from people are sick because that can hamper your immune system. Educate your self about it, learn more in your free time instead of waiting on doctors to tell you! Surround yourself with positive LOVING people who can help you and not bring you down or judge you. Friends and family can help and build that support channel for you. Make sure you are living for you and no one else. If you do that you'll avoid depression and all the things that may come with that.....stay on track. Most of all take your medicine and when one stops working go to your doctor to get another. Never give up there is people who has had it for years and is still alive and going strong! NEVER GIVE UP!

Yes, eat healthy, exercise frequently, and take good care of yourself. HIV will only turn into fullblown AIDS if you get sick (flu, tb, or anything else that weakens your immune system furthur). Hope I helped.

Tee D give you good answer. I just want to add: consume your anti retroviral drugs constantly, and maintain your health.
You must see your physicians every 3 month to check your health. Get laboratory check. Be very carefull on whatever you do & planning every actions.

Bless you.

I'm surprised at the answers I have just read. My son has HIV, eats well, has a healthy lifestyle, works full time.........does the good stuff. Avoiding infections, etc.. is impossible for him. When/because he has no immunity to speak of, he catches MRSA many, many times.....and it spreads all over his body. He takes his meds, but, the meds have become 'not useful' leaving him with infections in his blood that the doctors cannot even identify. He is worried that he has developed a super bug.............a new infection that cannot be identified, and that no medication that is out there seems to even touch. This is not just his worry...........the doctors are afraid of this, as well. Staying healthy with HIV is easy to say, but, for my son, is impossible to do. He had to take a month off work to get rid of this last bout of MRSA. I do hope that others with HIV do not have this problem, but, for my son.......the meds don't work anymore. This is scarry.

Hope that you live a healthy lifestyle and don't let any Infectious Diseases come to you. Good luck!

Many good answers. However, the problem would be in how each persons immune system reacts to the virus. It initially takes about two weeks for the first round of cells to become infected. After that is the difference in what can happen. Think of the immune system as tracks in a recording studio. The first track starts working at the initial onset of the virus. Cell after cell coming into contact with virus and being destroyed. This first track keeps on working but what happens after that is amazing in that the immune system has the ability to rebound and then the next "track" starts working. The "space" that has been lost by the first track is now taken over by the second track of cells. Then as time goes by a third track starts working and so on........you get the idea. This is why I believe certain groups ( different ethnic groups ) are effected by various diseases more than other groups. They have less " tracks or screens " in their immune systems.
While the answer of eating well and exercising and using vitamins and minerals will help to some extent it will not stop this breaking down of the immune system. As one person explains, there are still infections although all this is being tried ( vitamins, exercise, etc. ).
I suggest going to the top AIDS doctor who will then explain how a combination of reduction of viral load along with a slowing down of the immune response ( as I call it ) can work to stop this progresion of HIV from becoming AIDS. This top doc can also explain how the new class of drugs called entry inhibitors achieve this. Now, if you could consistantly reduce viral load and slow the immune response ( use entry inhibitors ) for a period of time and then use a vaccine ( even a non-specific one ), I beieve the immune cells could have an immunity to the virus although some virus may still be hiding within the body. This would in effect keep people healthy and in my opinion be a cure.
In my hypothesis, this treatment could work for a variety of microbes. If the medical community wants to do a study on this I believe it will concur with my hypothesis. I would do a study of a consistant use of alcohol ( a small amount per day or week; perhaps red wine would be best to use although I believe any type could be used; with a HIV it works by drawing out the cholesterol in the envelope of the virus which in effect lowers viral load ) combined with a consistant use of peppermint oil lozenges. The herb peppermint has long been used throughout history. However, when used in lozenge form it combines with the enzymes found in saliva ( particularly lysozyme ) along with a chemical beta-defensins which are powerful weapons against an HIV and perhaps other type of microbes. I believe if this combination is put to the test it can prove to keep people healthy even from something like a common cold. In the long run a study could prove to keep people out of a doctors office which would lower costs for all. It's up to the medical professionals who would surely want to help accomplish this goal.
