Given proper treatment, people with HIV can live long fulfilling lives. The only problem arises when they are not medicated.

You could die from it tomorrow or at 99. Its like a time bomb except you just dont know when its going to go off.

There is no specific time frame because it all depends on your immune system. Everyone's body is different and responds differently. Other factors: 1) How long have you been positive without receiving the proper medical care. For exmaple getting tested for HIV 5 to 10 years after you have contracted is different then getting tested as soon as you believe you have been placed at risk of contraction. The sooner you know you are positive the better so that you can start medical care. 2) Another factor is if you are taking antiretroviral medications. 3) Your viral load and your T-Cell count. I have been an HIV counselor and have found that many people learn of their status when they already have AIDS.

5 :
there is really no set time that a person has, being that you went to an orphanage, those children may not have a long life ahead of them, especially if they do not have the money to provide the proper care and medical knees that is needed.

No one can answer that. I have lived with HIV all my life (I am now 24) and I am in great physical condition (I got super lucky). My doctor sees me living another 30 or more years with no problem. That doesn't mean that something can't/won't go wrong in the next year and I don't die in the next 2 or 3 years from complications of the virus. I had a friend in school who had also had the virus since they were born and they died at 14.
