AIDS is not a virus....HIV is a virus that is known to cause AIDS....You can't have AIDS, if you don't have HIV. A person may go a long time know they have HIV and having no symptoms. This does not mean that they won't later have symptoms or that they won't get AIDS. She could possibly harm people she has sex with. This is a weird question. Why are you asking this?

Within 2-4 weeks after HIV infection, many, but not all, people experience flu-like symptoms, often described as the ?worst flu ever.? This is called ?acute retroviral syndrome? (ARS) or ?primary HIV infection,? and it?s the body?s natural response to the HIV infection.
Symptoms can include:
Fever (this is the most common symptom)
Swollen glands
Sore throat
Rash
Fatigue
Muscle and joint aches and pains
Headache
These symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. However, you should not assume you have HIV if you have any of these symptoms.

It takes about 10 years before there are noticeable signs of HIV/AIDS, so a girl who is infected with HIV could THINK she is fine, and then could go around infecting numerous other people.
There have also been studies of Kenyan prostitutes that supposedly are immune to HIV, so it would never affect them, but that would also mean they don't carry the virus in their bodies, so they wouldn't be able to infect others either.
So, unless the woman died from some other cause within ten years of contracting the virus, it is not possible that a woman who is infected with HIV could just skip out on the symptoms.

yes a person can have the virus and not be sick. this type of person is known as a carrier because the virus exists in harmony with this persons immune system, in other words there are chances that the virus can boost your immunity to an extent that no one would ever know you had it. as with harming people this person may have sex with, you will find that some people are not affected because of the levels of the virus in vaginal fluid at the time of intercourse. if the levels of the virus are constantly high in vaginal fluids secreted during sex then yes this person will infect all people they sleep with.

Very unlikely. AIDS is the latter stage of the HIV virus and it's usual for people at this stage to be very ill. You would know if she had AIDS.
That said, if she has HIV and is controlling it as well as possible through treatment and meds, it would be possible to "conceal" this and for her to appear to be well. If she was selfish enough to sleep with someone without using protection, then yes, she could infect someone else.
I have never heard of someone passing on the HIV virus without suffering from its symptoms themselves, unless they are unaware of their own status and have yet to be diagnosed.
Moral of the tale - use condoms EVERY time you have sex, whoever you have sex with.

A person can be infected with HIV but not have any symptoms for at least thirteen years. It could be that the men infected through contact with her didn't have such a long period of the virus being dormant. Also, with advances in medicine today, if you have the money you can live a rather long, rather healthy life.

100% NOT POSSIBLE! AIDS (acute immuno defeciency syndrome)
aids affects her immune system...
her immune response...
means that her body has very little mechanism to fight back viruses and bacteria...
if she has aids, her days are numbered...
the body in the later stage would be incapable of protecting itself...
the people she had sex with (without protection) could be endangered as well and even those who surrounds her...
specially if one has an open would and it comes in contact with her blood...
aids can be acquired not only thru sexual contact but also thru blood transfussion

No if you have AIDS it will harm you it just takes its time.
She can and will infect others if not using condoms also if cut and bleeds.
Often its not AIDS that kills you its some other desease you can't fight as it took away your immunity.
Drugs nowadays can really slow it down though.
