Indefinite???? Of course not. LIFE is not indefinite.

LOTS of variables. Sensitivity to toxicities, adherence - how well
people can take all doses on time, response of virus to the drugs
(resistance), disease progression rates, nadir CD4 count....etc.

There is clearly a survival advantage to using ARV than to doing
nothing (as denialists here will suggest is just a marvelous idea).

Other variables might include the extent to which people take care of
their diet, exercise, stress reduction, use of a multivitamin....I've
known a fair number of folks who have lived 20+ years with HIV.

But it is a bit too early to say whether or not people can anticipate
a good chance at a normal life span. I'd say we're getting closer!

Except if you live in areas where ARV are not available, in large
measure due to the avarice of pharma that blocks access either
directly or thru lobbying for outrageous, genocidal unilateral trade
agreements that the United States is all too willing to foist upon
vulnerable nations in return for piddling concessions and such, the
letter and spirit of which the US often violates anyway, as they do
with ALL treaties the very moment they become inconvenient.
