The Bad.
At the 9th International Workshop on HIV and Aging, researchers revealed 39 percent of poz people 50 or older and 49 percent of those under 50 have hepatic steatosis (aka fatty liver disease).

Anal Intrusion Death Sentence
Oofah....
One of the “highs” is that neither my wife nor I need to worry about this stuff because we’ve never engaged in any depraved,immoral or hedonistic behavior.
What is a “poz?” Is that some kind of jargon used by a subculture?
Had me scratching my head as well...best guess: short for positive, as in HIV positive.
From the article, “For years, falling HIV rates have made it seem like AIDS could really be eradicated by 2020, but the IAC revealed that goal is fading fast. Last year, the world saw 1.8 million new HIV cases, a far cry from the 500,000 global new diagnoses UNAIDS once hoped we’d reach by 2020. Instead, UNAIDS reports we’re seeing spikes in new HIV diagnoses among key demographics, including drug users in eastern Europe and adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa. A recent report by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation fears Zimbabwe, where new HIV diagnoses are down by 49 percent since 2010, could see a reversal because 61 percent of Zimbabweans are under 25 years old, and just “entering the age when they are most at risk for infection.” At this critical moment, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation reports funding for the global fight to end HIV dropped $3 billion between 2012 and 2017”.
Zimbabwe is rampant with prostitution. That includes children as prostitutes and women over the age of 52. One article on the net says Zimbabwe has the cheapest prostitutes in the world.

In 2015 Zimbabwe’s Constitution Court ruled police could not arrest women for prostitution.

compare US to the third world. “total numbers” are irrelavant, as always culture and response vary.
Is it AVOIDABLE?
HIV is an absolutely preventable disease. You cannot say that about heart disease, cancer, diabetes...
AIDS is a disease of lifestyle.
Yet it gets as much attention as cancer and heart disease.
Thanks.
It's how they try to make being AIDS infected sound cool.
Exactly.
The same with "HIV Status." We don't have an "HIV status" because we don't have the remotest possibility of contracting it. "Status" implies "infected," or soon to be.
It’s possible that one can live for a while with HIV, such as Magic Johnson.
At the same time, some people don’t have just HIV but other diseases such as Herpes Type 2, which makes it easier to contract HIV via The sores.
A few years ago, on an HIV website, I read people with HIV die 14 years early. They’re also likely to get HAND (HIV associated neurological disease, or dementia). I can’t find these articles through web searches anymore. Wonder why. Did the Gaystapo remove them?
I used to actually care about these people, the gays in the West, and wished they would stop killing themselves with unprotected sodomy. It seemed so inane. Now, I no longer give a hoot. To hell with them. They deserve everything they get. I just hope they live long enough to pass it to their buds. Same with those who get it from needles. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Is that harsh?
I would care if they didn’t, from the very start, use AIDS as a weapon against normal society. I’ve never heard so much as a semblance of an apology, or so much as sympathy, toward those who contracted the disease innocently through infected blood donations. On the contrary, Homos now DEMAND that they be allowed to donate blood without any questions, while being THE primary vector of the virus.
There is still such a thing as impredatory prayer that the wicked suffer the consequences of their depraved actions. If not praying for it, I’m waiting in anticipation of a new super-bug variety of the virus to turn up, immune to all past medications. This is inevitable with the virtual pathogen Petri dish homos create in their own subculture.
If they don’t die, their quality of life is significantly diminished by many of the ailments you mention, and others. Kidney and liver impairments are common. Cancers are much higher. Many times a combination of several of these make HIV infection a life sentence; not a death sentence.
