Can people with strong immunity resist AIDS?

Generally, individuals with strong immune systems cannot completely resist HIV, but a robust immunity can delay disease progression to some extent. The pathogenesis of AIDS is unique, and it cannot be defended against by immunity alone; therefore, prevention and scientific intervention must be taken seriously.

After infection with the HIV virus, individuals with stronger immune systems may enable their immune system to recognize and eliminate some of the virus during the early stage, thereby slowing down viral replication in the body and postponing the onset of AIDS. This asymptomatic period may last for several years or even more than a decade. During this time, infected individuals generally maintain normal bodily functions and are not significantly affected in daily activities. However, this does not mean the virus has been eradicated, and regular monitoring is still necessary.

The core danger of HIV lies in its specific targeting and destruction of CD4+T lymphocytes—key cells within the human immune system responsible for immune defense. Regardless of how strong the initial immunity is, the virus continuously damages these cells, ultimately leading to immune system failure and triggering various infections and diseases.

The key to preventing AIDS lies in cutting off transmission routes. In daily life, practicing safe sex, avoiding sharing needles, and staying away from unregulated medical procedures are essential. Once infected, individuals should start antiviral treatment as early as possible, combined with healthy lifestyle habits and balanced nutrition, to maximally preserve immune function.
