Hello:
This answer is in response to your question posted about HIV/AIDS.
Well, it all depends on the person. We all have different body chemistries and immune systems.
I treat a lot of patients with HIV, not so much full blown AIDS patients due in part to all of the HIV cocktail meds that are out there on the market now.
Sometimes an HIV positive patient will have what is called Primary HIV syndrome which usually comes on about 4-6 weeks after first exposure. It feels exactly like the flu, fever, body aches, rashes, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, congestion, swollen lymph nodes, etc but quickly goes away without any sequelae.
Like I said, it depends on the person. Full blown AIDS usually takes years after first exposure but there are always the few who progress rapidly.
What is interesting and we still do not know why this happens, but females tend to develop full blown AIDS a lot quicker than males do. Infants born to positive mothers can rapidly develop full blown AIDS if not treated.
So the answer to your question is "variable". But most of the time it is several years to going from being just HIV positive to having full blown AIDS.
I hoped this helped answer your question and alleviate some of your concerns.
Regards,
Warren Shaffer, MD

It takes around 10 months to 15 years according to the disease taken. The HIV Patients take in diease because they lose the power of their immune system.
