MY best friend’s brother, who is gay, just died in his late 40s early 50s. The AIDS cocktail can suppress HIV strongly in some, but most still slowly deteriorate. I know a few HIV positive folks and you can tell because they look rail thin and frail.

You know Bill Clinton?
Sorry for your friend’s loss. I just never hear about it any longer, but it seems people are still suffering and dying. It’s just not in the news like it once was. In the 80s and 90s, it was very much talked about.
It was probably in the early 2000s, but my mom and I went to an estate sale of two men that I presumed to be “partners”. One of the fellows was obviously VERY sick even though he was up and about. He had that very gaunt, frail look of which you speak. Didn’t know the man, but it was hard not to feel for him.
