 There is no single answer to this question. If she is still not needing therapy, she may well live out her natural lifespan without needing therapy, as she has shown herself to have an ability to control HIV on her own. If she is on therapy, it depends if she is still responding to it and what treatment options are still available to her. People who are newly diagnosed with HIV in 2004 may well live out their natural lives, on or off treatment and never die from AIDS... | ||||||||
