چکیده

The ultimate mortality within 20 years of infection is unknown as the virus has been spreading for only 10 years. Many virologists now accept the pessimistic view that all people infected with the virus will eventually be killed by it. All virologists are agreed that once infected with the AIDS virus, people are potentially infectious to others for life.
