Question
What is the symptoms of AIDS ?
How long does the AIDS patient can live?
AIDS has many symptoms- it all depends on the type of infections a person acquires because of AIDS. AIDS only affects the immune system- its the other sicknesses a person acquires because of a diseased immune that determines what "symptoms" they have.
How long a person lives depends on a number of things. If they take medicine and adhere to that strict regimen they can live for decades.
