You can have HIV for decades now and never die from AIDS. My brother will drink himself to death before AIDS gets him.
I knew you were going there.
Let’s get scientific about it. How about an experiment? You know, real hands-on empirical evidence?
Experiment:
Infect yourself and get back to us. We’ll monitor your progress with such a benign virus. Monthly updates will do fine. I’m sure the moderators will have no problems with vanities like those.
By the way, medical treatment is out of the question. You have to let HIV run its course, which should be just fine since it doesn’t really do anything, right?
The newest dubious studies are saying that contracting the infection early and getting on and staying on antiretrovirals medicine regimens, religiously, gives you the best chance of living a long life. So, what are gay men to do? Hold “AIDS parties” for the “gay” kids to get a jump on the treatment?
