Lifesaving: Hiv without treatment is almost invariably a slow decline, with a rapid fall off the cliff at the end when opportunistic infections take over; it is a brutal, painful disease to live in the end stages of. Treatment of hiv, if done appropriately and early enough, can allow HIV positive patients to lead essentially normal lives.
