Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Medical science has evolved a lot over the years and once a patient of HIV is detected at an early stage, and when treatment is started soon and if he is taking treatment as prescribed, he can lead a normal life of upto 60-70 years. But during this he has to take all precautions as suggested and has to take treatment as suggested.
Now a days, govt gives free treatment for people at ART centres.
Best regards.
