    It’s amazing to me the strides in medicine that have helped reduce the deaths associated with HIV in such a short time. I remember that shit was like a 1 to 2 year mortality rate, and people are now able to live much much longer.

      AFAIK drugs can control HIV and prevent AIDS, so people aren’t dying from it if they’re treated, and I think they can also make it much less contagious. It’s really amazing.
