People with stds like hiv and aids how long do they live and how come some people are ammune to the diease?

After someone is infected with HIV, it takes an average of 10 years to turn into full-blown AIDS (when the immune system is significantly damaged) but this time is HIGHLY variable. The life span of a person with HIV could be quite long, especially if they're being treated with the appropriate anti-retrovirals. However, HIV itself can cause sensory neuropathy, dementia, nephropathy (leading to kidney failure), and likely other bad things all on its own (ie not caused by the lack of immune system).

It does appear that some people are immune to the most common type of HIV. These people (with a deletion of 32 nucleotides in their CCR5 receptor genes) don't have the right receptor that HIV needs to get inside the cell. However, this mutation isn't terribly common- it is found in about 5-10% of people of Northern European descent and much smaller percentages of people with other backgrounds.

To the first poster, it is unlikely that you are immune. The reason you are presumably not infected with HIV is that you have not been exposed to it. Immunity is when you don't become infected even when you are exposed to HIV.

I am immune to STD's because I have only had one partner
in 27 years

when you have filet mignon - who needs green balogna

No one is immune to HIV and AIDS. This is an autoimmune disease, and progresses from HIV to AIDS. While we have made progress, this is a fatal disease that can be prevented only through safe sex.

How long a person lives after contracting this disease depends on their health beforehand, and other factors.

Best wishes.

People diagnosed with HIV can live between 5 and 30 years, it depends how long they live with the virus dormant in their system. Once they get full blown AIDS, people usually only live a few years. Thankfully, we are working on new drugs that can improve the quality and longevity of life for those infected.
Also, there have only been a few known cases of immunity to HIV, they have all been prostitutes in Africa, and nobody really knows why.
