AIDS activists and the PR in the MSM want to eliminate stigma, especially by potential employers, against homosexuals, bisexuals, and the AIDS infected by claiming that HIV is merely a “manageable chronic condition.” No mention of side effects from the cocktail.
All this does is tell the young and reckless that there will be no consequences for AIDS-spreading sexual practices that they need to be concerned about...and infection rates are rising again.
He had 24 years, stopped his meds and did meth. That’s not an early death, considering the circumstances.
Not staying on the drugs on a diligent, consistent schedule also allow the virus to mutate to a more drug-resistant form. Not a very cheering outlook for a “community” that prides itself on radical sexual liberty.

Despite dramatic increases in life expectancy in the decade since the introduction of combination therapy, Americans diagnosed with HIV are still dying an average of 21 years younger than their HIV-negative peers, report researchers from the Centers of Disease Prevention and Control in the online edition of the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes. http://www.aidsmap.com/People-with-HIV-have-21-year-reduction-in-life-expectancy-in-US/page/1435924/
It's important to look at all of the information so as not to buy into an obfuscation campaign by the media/power elite.
21 years younger death than your non-HIV peers is still a death sentence.
Lord our God, rest the soul of this man in peace.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
