Yes, if you start haart soon enough. Keeping your cd4 level higher than 200 to prevent an oi. A cd4 level <200 with an oi. Puts one in the classification of having aids per the cdc's guidelines.

Yes! Some people never progress to AIDS. With medication HIV positive people can lead a long and for the most part good life! Smile
