It is, actually. This is part of the reason it's so dangerous. People think they're okay, because they have no signs, and they spread it.

Yes, you can carry the virus for up to ten years without symptoms. Get tested with each new partner.

Yup. Some infected people don't notice or feel anything even after five or ten years.

I've recently read an article that a woman was diagnosed with HIV 8 years ago. she's been under going the cocktails for her form of HIV & just recently she got a 2nd opinion & found out she is not even HIV positive. WHAT A LAW suit she has. So I guess my answer is anything is possible.

You need to understand that there is a difference between HIV and AIDS. HIV is a virus that infects your body. AIDS is a set of symptoms and problems that arise as a result of acute HIV infection. Most people often show little or no symptoms in the beginning of an HIV infection. Some people report getting brief flu like symptoms immediately after infection, but it usually passes and is forgotten. Asymptomatic HIV infection is a period of varying length in which the immune system slowly deteriorates without symptoms. The length of this phase varies from person to person. It depends on how quickly the HIV virus is copying itself and the genetic differences that affect the way the immune system handles the virus. Some people can go 10 years or longer without symptoms, while others may have symptoms and worsening immune function within a few years after the original infection.
