No, your friend is not eligible to take participate in UPSC exam. Because, HIV is considered as not Physically and medically fit. Any student who, has a disease which, have no any treatment is considered as not fit student. So, your friend should take medicine and if, after some time HIV will negative then, he can write UPSC exam. Age criteria for UPSC IAS exam are as follows:-
General- 21 to 30 years
OBC- 21 to 35 years
Sc/St- unlimited
