Answer: Simon Collins

Thank you for your question. We have answered this question many times before. The short answer is that it is never too late to start treatment and many people have gone on to live long and fulfilling lives.

I was diagnosed with AIDS almost twelve years ago. I am still going strong and hope to live many more years on HIV treatment.
