Detailed explanation-1: -Compared to the general population, the life expectancy for patients with HIV infection at age 20 is about 36 years less.

Detailed explanation-2: -You’re in for good news. Research shows that people who start HIV treatment early can live as long as people who don’t have the virus. That’s a big improvement over the figures from 2010, when studies said that HIV could cut your life short by 13 years. But there’s more to this story.
