| Response from Dr. Henry
 Experience from the pre-treatment era in the US suggested that the average time from infection to development of AIDS was around 10 years with survival averaging several years after than (total average= 10-12 years). That can be extended with several inexpensive meds (such as TB meds or a sulfa antibiotic pill). Some people have done well for 15-20 years without treatment so it can happen. KH | ||||||||
