I am certified with AIDS. Usually people when they first get aids. They usually get a symptoms at first like a flu or cold. After the virus has been in the system for two weeks. Right after that it goes away which is why allot people do not get checked. Then they start waking up at night sweating. They start getting sick allot. Allot of them get Kaposi's Sarcoma it is cancer rash. It common with people with aids. It common for them to get cancer. Aids is a immune disorder. You rarely ever hear someone say ''he died of aids.''. Most the time people with aids get cancer. If you are not familiar with what cancer is. It is a bad cell. Allot times are immune system recognize that bad cell destroys it. What happens when people have Aids is their bodies defense is so poor becuase the cd4 cells are infected that it can not fight that over active cell. So they get cancer. Or a simple cold could kill them. It deadly to them. You can get AIDs through syringes, breast milk, blood semen, vagina discharge. You can not get aids through sweat, nor tears. HIV means you have the virus in you. Once it starts infecting cells then it is full blown aids. The reason you can not cure aids. It because it always infecting cd4 cells.(lymcyotes) As fast as your body produces them is as fast as it infects them. as HIV infect the body it uses CD4..(lymcyotes) to make copy's of itself. Each day the body makes billions of CD4 cells. The virus infects them. After infected the number of Cd4 cells go down. CD4 cells fight infection. Eventually they become infected. HIV usually wins but they can make medications to slow down the process. It always mutating! As far as life expectancy goes AIDs effects everyone different. Some people live 20 years with AIDs. While others live ten years with AIDs. Hope I could help! I am not a doctor. I can not diagnosis you just give you the best medical advice based on my scope of practice.

Most of the time there are no symptoms. Some people experience mild flu like symptoms in the early stages of contracting HIV but like I said most people do not experience any symptoms for months even years. You need to be tested 30 days after exposure to HIV and then 6 months after exposure. Some people take longer to build up the antibodies that are detected in a HIV test so you must test atleast 1 month, and then 6 months after exposure. If you test too soon you will not get an accurate result. There are oral tests (where they swab your cheek) or blood tests (where they draw blood from your vein) which both of these tests are accurate at detecting HIV antibodies.

ARS Symptoms are first to appear. These are very broad symptoms that a person has whenever infected by a retro virus. These are just very common things fever etc. This happens around 1 month to 1 month and 2 weeks. After that it lies dormant and symptoms can hide for 10 years.
