Patients with AIDS can survive, and the incubation period of AIDS patients is very long, about 9 years on average, while the longest can be up to 10 years. The patient’s immune function will gradually recover and even reach a healthy level after the long-term suppression of the virus in the patient’s body through continuous antiviral treatment to reach a very low level. If the immune function reaches a healthy level, there will be no secondary infections and the patient can work, live or study as a normal person. As long as the patient stays on the antiviral therapy and has regular checkups, AIDS can be treated as a chronic disease.
