For the majority of patients who have HIV, the dormancy period lasts about 10 years. About 10 percent to 20 percent of patients progress to having AIDS within 5 years. It is estimated that another 5 percent to 10 percent of patients will not reach the AIDS phase for more than 15 years.
Generally speaking, the time it takes to go from HIV infection to AIDS is around 5-10 years if no medical intervention is made. Differences in time can be due to any number of factors, including: The genetic strain of HIV a person has been infected with (some of which may be more or less virulent than others) The general health of the individual. The place where the person lives (including healthcare access, incidence of other diseases or infections) A person's genetics or family history.
