A person with AIDS looks like anybody else, a normal person. It is impossible to tell if someone is infected with AIDS just by looking at them. It has no outward signs that would let you know if a person has it.

In later stages of AIDS, they may often take on a very sick, gaunt appearance, because of AIDS ravaging their body, but there would be no signs that they have any particular illness.

Like normal people. Some are fat and some are thin. In later stages they have red or purple splotches on their skin. It looks almost like a bruise. It goes away after a few days and then comes back. As they get more advanced there are more spots and they don't go away. That's about the only things you'll see. Other than that, they have bad diarreah and need to go to the bathroom quite often.

Many look like us--regular people with lives. Like many progressive conditions, there is not a typical look--especially since the newer drugs and treatments often delay the onset of outward symptoms. The movie, Philadelphia, with Tom Hanks might provide a typical look. Ryan White, a teenager, was one of the first publicized cases. See the related question.
Like anyone who you would meet at supermarket, subway or family function. Basically they could look just like you or me.

An AIDS victim should look normal as any other person: healthy and strong. You can only spot the difference depending on the stage they are in, what other disease they are carrying within their bodies for instance tuberculosis and if they are not taking care of themselves properly; say not eating healthy, taking their medicines and/or if they are depressed. Some carriers of AIDS, would have chapped skin with blisters on (again depending to the level of the disease), some loose alot of weight, weak discolored hair, other even limp due to weak limps: all these and other symptoms vary with stage, age and ability to take care of themselves.

Individuals with an AIDS diagnosis are very likely to look like anyone else of similar age and cultural background. Having HIV or AIDS doesn't necessarily change a person's looks.
