HIV can be detected after the person has developed antibodies to the virus. In a way, antibodies are markers for the diseases that your body has fought against. This mechanism occurs anywhere from 3 weeks to a few months after the person has contracted HIV.
Full blown AIDS is when the person's T-cells are so low that they can not fight any diseases at all. And they get the flu, pneumonia, some fungal diseases, TB, (opportunistic infections) basically anything that usually you would be able to handle with a normal immune sys.
The years that a person can live with HIV and no symptoms varies, so far up to 30 years. It all depends on your body and what form of of the virus you have. Since HIV is a virus that mutates billions of times, and has many subtypes everyone gets a different combination. Some people get the more lethal faster ones and some others get the slow ones......
If they say you have advanced HIV with symtoms that means that your T-cell counts are very low (below 200).
So no it is not full blown AIDS just because you have been diagnosed with HIV after 10 years. Being diagnosed with HIV literally means that you have developed antibodies to the virus and that you have the virus in your body
happy mylot day.
