AIDS will develop as a late-stage {{tag|health}} prognosis of a carrier of HIV (often coined 'HIV-positive'), especially if the HIV carrier does not have access to the required anti-retro-viral drugs. Once diagnosed with AIDS, it is usually fatal to life; with {{tag|People|sufferers}} usually dying within a decade of developing AIDS. | ||
