Theoretically...

[Tom Treutlein]

If someone contracted HIV and never took medication, never bothered to get checked (or just didn't know) but was healthy and fit, how long could they live? I know this is open-ended and it depends on a person, but if they have an above-average immune system, they don't stress a lot, nor do they overly exert themslves, plus they take vitamins/minerals, eat properly, drink a gallon of water a day, have ALA/DHA/EPA and other EFAs, what would happen? Is five years even reasonable for a person in such a case, or does it spread and develop too quick usually?

On average about ten years, but for me, I was working 60 hour weks working corporate at Staples, so I only got about two and a half. Magic Johnson went about ten years before he started his med combo. Thanks! Alan.
