Well there's HIV then there's AIDS. HIV usually can take years to turn into aids and some people live with it for years before knowing they have it. Then there's aids,which can't kill you. What it does is it attacks your white blood cells, and destroys them making it impossible for your body to fight off diseases. The rate depends entirely on what shape your body is in, if you have a good immune system and are in good shape you'll most likely live longer then someone who is obese and old, and if you are in an area of great risk for dangerous diseases.

If you test negative for HIV can you still spread the virus?
No, aids can only be passed on through body fluids. IE Sperm, Saliva and also blood. How ever, to get aids from saliva you have to drink at least 9 litres of it so kissing is fine. So if your partner does not have aids you will not get it from that partner.
How to prevent aids?
You prevent aids by not getting infected by HIV. HIV is spread through body fluids. Avoiding sexual contact and contact with blood through sharing needles and transfusions can go a long way toward preventing it.
