How long do you live with herpes?

Answer 1

With medical care from an infectious disease specialist, an appropriate medication regime, and a healthy lifestyle you can expect to live a normal lifespan.
In this day and age many people can survive, and live close to a normal life when they have hiv. There is great technonlogy and medicines which can help those with hiv to live a normal life. Sometimes in bad cases people can die yound such as at the age of 20
they could live many years until the hiv virus turn into aids and once the aids get big in your body it shut down you insides and that will make u sick and also will cause death.

Answer 2

It depends on where you live and what treatments you have access to. If you live in the developed world and have access to antiretroviral therapies then you can live for much longer than if you don't.

If you are diagnosed, in the West, at 20 and put straight on medication you can expect to live for another 30 or 40 years before the illness becomes a threat to your life. Some reports even claim that HIV no longer reduces expected life span at all thanks to medication.

Unfortunately this medication is not routinely available in every country, and some places, like Africa, have seen average life expectancies plummet because of the number of AIDS related deaths that skew the statistics. It's worth pointing out that AIDS itself doesn't kill you, rather the fact that you have an Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome means that your body loses the ability to fight off other infections, like pneumonia, bronchitis etc, that then become so powerful you die from them.

I'm sorry if this doesn't answer your question neatly, but it's not a neat illness.

Answer 3

Herpes will not affect your lifespan.

ANS2:It might shorten your lifespan drastically if you catch it and give it to your wife.
Herpes is not a terminal illness. Herpes is a common sexual transmitted disease that is incurable but treatable.
No, herpes will not make your life shorter. It will make you more susceptible to catching other STDs if exposed.

Answer 4

That would vary from person to person, but in most first world countries, the question is irrelevant. Syphilis is a bacterial STD that is easily cured with penicillin.
If left untreated, it will be 10 to 20 years before it becomes fatal.

Answer 5

If syphilis was treated early, and no organ damage occurred, your life span will not be affected.

Answer 6

Syphilis should be treated as soon as it is diagnosed. There is no need to wait to treat syphilis.

Answer 7

Treatment for earlier-stage syphilis is a single injection of penicillin. Later stage syphilis may require a more prolonged course of treatment.

Answer 8

lifelong...there is no cure, yet.
