There is no such thing as a lifelong HIV infection. The average time from HIV infection to disease onset is long, often referred to as the incubation period, and is about 9 years, with some people having a shorter period of about a year, and some even up to 10 years. Most patients have 6-10 years from the time of HIV infection to the onset of the disease, so there will not be no onset of the disease, it is just a matter of time. It has a certain relationship with the number of HIV infections and one’s own immune status. If you are infected with HIV, you do not need to worry too much and visit the CDC regularly for follow-up. If there is an indication for antiretroviral treatment, most of the patients’ condition is still relatively stable if they take the medication in time.
