Frequently asked question: What symptoms occur if you have AIDS?

If you do not take any medication, you will eventually get AIDS. This is when you get very severe infections with fungi, viruses or bacteria, which people without the HIV infection actually never get. Because your immune system is not working properly, these infections are not easy to treat, leading to people with AIDS eventually dying.
