“Today, the patient is responding to medication to, correctly takes can have a life expectancy of very similar to a person not infected with HIV”, says José María Miró, Vice President of the Spanish society of infectious diseases and clinical microbiology and senior consultant of the infectious diseases of Hospital Clínic and Provincial de Barcelona service.

“AIDS, mortal fifteen years ago, now is a chronic disease in which a patient who acquire the infection at age twenty has a life expectancy of estimated more than forty years”, added the specialist.
