I did not know about this. :-( HIV normally does turn into Aids doesn't it?

I think the longest person i heard of living with HIV before turning to Aids is around 10 years.

It depends.  Some people can live reasonably comfortably with HIV for years and years with few effects but with others it can turn into full blown AIDS fairly quickly.  

Modern drug treatments are prolonging the life expectancy of people with HIV, but like everything it will depend on the individual's body chemistry.

Oh right. What a shame someone like Andy Bell has been inflicted with this awful desease. He must feel truly awful inside (especially at Christmas). But like the man he is, he will carry on normally, and fight it. Fair play to him that is what i say. I have always respected his work in music (even if i didn't like all of them).
