How does an Hiv+ person feel when infected without taking drugs for the sickness?

This is for those who have the virus. Can anyone please tell me?

Sure, I'll give it a try. You feel pretty good - until the HIV virus had done enought damage to your immune system that a host of oppotunistic illnesses occur in the body. Then you feel lousy based on which of these illnesses hits you first (or several.) Then you feel as bad as you would feel when having these infections and illnesses. Thanks! Alan.

Been positive for over 20 years - no need for drugs yet.

I feel fine - have a tough time gaining muscle, but still healthy after all these years!

I have been postive now for over 13 years. I have been on drug vacations, and I felt no more worse then I did while I was on my meds. Even though, it caused my levels to rise. I am currently working towards getting them back to a more Happier level in my mind.

This is for "wls8687" ...... Thanks for the good karma points. I would return it back to you , but I'm not sure how to since you didn't leave a reply to my statement.
Have a Good New Year.

I'm 49 - I was infected in 1981, so it's surprising I've been able to stay off meds. Most people need then after about 10 years.
