==Before the development of AIDS drugs, beig infected with HIV usually meant you would be dead within months or a few years. Today, these drugs have essentially turned AIDS into just another chronic disease.
Actually, it’s just the opposite. Duesberg predicted that there would be no cure for AIDS and that the toxic side effects of antiviral chemotherapies would actually increase mortality. As it turns out, the Lancet published a study in 2006 (the largest of its kind, with hundreds of investigators listed) on the effectiveness of AIDS cocktail/HAART drugs. In the discussion section of the study the Lancet investigators admit the following with respect to AIDS cocktail/HAART drugs. Again, Duesberg’s chemical-AIDS theory predicted this outcome all along:
“However, there was no corresponding decrease in the rates of AIDS, or death, up to 1 year of follow-up. Conversely, there was some evidence for an increase in the rate of AIDS in the most recent period.”

You are seriously claiming that people with AIDS today are worse off than people who got AIDS 20 or so years ago? In the early years of the disease, people with AIDS rarely survived more than a few years. Now, with proper use of AIDs drugs, people with AIDS can live decades. Look at, for example, Magic Johnson versus Arthur Ashe.
In the discussion section of the study the Lancet investigators admit the following with respect to AIDS cocktail/HAART drugs. Again, Duesberg’s chemical-AIDS theory predicted this outcome all along:
“However, there was no corresponding decrease in the rates of AIDS, or death, up to 1 year of follow-up. Conversely, there was some evidence for an increase in the rate of AIDS in the most recent period.”
And in the paragraph right after this section, the Lancet article notes that the changing demographics of people using these drugs- i.e., the huge increase in people in Sub-Saharan Africa who are now getting access to these drugs- makes it impossible to compare apples to apples.
