Q: i have panic from hiv and still in the windows period. i want ask please how long can hiv patients live if they take their treatment?

: By UPTODATE: "antiretroviral therapy ART dramatically changes the course of HIV, leading to a near-normal lifespan, particularly when treatment is initiated early in the course of infection and at high baseline CD4 count". Good luck.
