2019 Can AIDS be cured? How long can you live with AIDS?

Unfortunately, there is no cure for AIDS in sight and scientists are working on it. However, it would be impossible to cure AIDS in 2019. This is because a drug, even if it has the promise of curing AIDS, is itself not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

Many people who are afraid of AIDS or have already been diagnosed with AIDS are often extremely pessimistic when they see their doctors: if they are infected, they are just waiting to die, right? Am I going to die? Is there any way to save me? If I get infected, I will be worse off than dead, right?

Actually, things weren't as bad as they thought.

Scientific research data from developed countries in Europe and the United States show that an adult over 18 years of age, diagnosed as HIV-infected, as long as he or she receives regular and effective treatment, the average life expectancy can also reach about 80 years of age, which is no longer markedly different from that of a normal person.

There is no domestic research in this area yet, but domestic medical conditions are close to those of developed countries in Europe and the United States.

In other words, with regular medication and review under a doctor's supervision, the long-term survival rate and quality of life of people with AIDS is already no different from that of the average person without AIDS, or at least from that of the average person with other controlled chronic diseases.

AIDS can also expect a normal life expectancy for the following main reasons.

1. Speed of drug development

HIV antiretroviral treatment is becoming more and more effective. Our current HIV antiretroviral drugs are free of charge, and the treatment regimen used is a first-line treatment regimen, which ensures the effectiveness of the treatment. However, it is still hoped that more effective anti-HIV drugs can be introduced.

2. Relaxation of therapeutic indications

It used to be that whether or not treatment was started depended on the CD4 cell count of the HIV-infected person, and those infected below a certain value could only receive free treatment. Now it has evolved to the point that as long as a person is HIV-positive, he or she will start treatment, regardless of the CD4 cell count. In this way, more infected people can control the replication of the virus at an early stage by taking medication to restore their immune function and avoid life-affecting opportunistic infections and tumors.

3. Benefits from medical examinations

After antiretroviral drug treatment, HIV-infected persons are required to have regular body checkups for a specified period of time. This measure of regular body checkups will enable HIV-infected people to find out the condition of their body and take precautions in time, instead of just finding out the adverse effects of the drugs. In this case, it will even be able to bring more benefits than the general infrequent medical checkups.

In conclusion, whether one is afraid of AIDS or has been diagnosed with it, blind fear that AIDS will kill you or reduce your life expectancy is unnecessary.

For people who are afraid of HIV, it is vital to check for antibodies to HIV disease on a regular basis, rather than using the symptoms against the symptoms and suspecting them every day. For those who are already infected, it is important to take your time to accept this reality and be calm and relaxed.




People will make mistakes, no matter what is infected, I hope that the relevant departments and professors to grasp the development of AIDS cured drugs, time passes by, every day do not know how many people are infected, so far those AIDS patients targeting the face of the college students to retaliate, so they do not give them a cure in the future more and more people will be infected, and the AIDS epidemic has been a major problem.

Stay optimistic, cooperate with the treatment, and you'll live a lifetime.

HIV cannot be cured by current medications, but the condition can be controlled by taking medication, and the state provides free HIV antiviral medication. At present, the drugs are more advanced, drug resistance will also have, a long time to take drugs on the human body will have some side effects. Infection of AIDS is not necessarily AIDS patients, AIDS has an acute infection period, latent period, AIDS patients period. The incubation period may be 2 to 10 years. Generally speaking, before becoming an AIDS patient, there is no need to take medication, and it is sufficient to take the HIV load test twice a year. If you become an AIDS patient, you need to go to the local infectious disease hospital to get free medication. If you are found to be HIV-positive in the hospital, the hospital will send you to the local CDC for a confirmatory HIV test, and if you are positive, your information will be entered into the national AIDS database. The local CDC will refer your personal information to the local infectious disease hospital for management, where you can receive free testing and treatment. The country has a four-free, one-care policy, and is more relaxed about AIDS patients applying for low income insurance individually.

2029 is a possibility, isn't it? No problem for another ten years.
