HIV/AIDS In the absence of specific treatment, around half of people infected with HIV develop AIDS within ten years. The most common initial conditions that alert to the presence of AIDS are pneumocystis pneumonia (40%), cachexia in the form of HIV wasting syndrome (20%), and esophageal candidiasis.

Danish Scientists Expect HIV Cure 'Within Months'; Treatment Eradicates HIV Reservoirs Danish Scientists Expect HIV Cure 'Within Months'; Treatment Eradicates HIV Reservoirs. Researchers say an HIV cure may be months away. Danish scientists are conducting clinical trials where the HIV virus is stripped from human DNA and destroyed by the immune system, the Telegraph reports. Scientists say early signs are promising and believe “a mass-distributable and affordable cure to HIV is possible.”.

Treatment After Exposure to HIV PEP should begin as soon as possible after exposure to HIV but certainly within 72 hours. Treatment with 2 or 3 ARVs should continue for 4 weeks, if tolerated. Researchers are also developing Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). PrEP might be used in similar ways as a vaccine.
