It is a shame that they cannot find an inexpensive and moral way to prevent the spread of AIDS. I would have assumed any a disease that depends on intentionally sticking needles onto your own body or body parts into portions of the body that are not designed for such acts would be easily avoided. Silly me.

If your recommendations were followed, Aids would be a minor disease of little importance.

Do not stick needles in your veins or your penis into butts.

It’s all about the SAD diet.

Particularly the high carb part of it.

My health club (which is also a local hospital wellness center) has tons (and I do mean "tons") of members who are on the low carb or keto diet to correct this problem. They are losing weight and slowly but surely returning to some semblance of fitness.

Before entering a program to correct their diets, nearly all were victims not of alcohol but of diets of pizza, pasta, cornbread, cakes/pies/cookies/donuts, pancakes, burgers and fries (nothing wrong with the burger, just the bun).

Damn shame that the tasty stuff is so deadly. I guess it wouldn't be so deadly if our generation wasn't so sedentary in work and lifestyle.

But it is what it is.

It’s not spreading because of the multi-trillion dollar researched PrEP.

Plus, people with HIV age 15 years. I assume that means they die 15 years early.

That will be the next Expensive test our PCP’s will require even if we’ve not engaged in risky behavior to pad their bills. Medicare has cracked down on test duplication’s Specialist do. Just went through the 6 month check ups, I’ve 4 Specialist I see first, they flat said NOT to let the PCP step on their Toes if I see him first in the schedule rotation. None of their computers talk to each other. Most are independent, only the Cardio is hospital affiliated Methodist. PCP is total computerized no paper back up and he’s St Francis. Gastro is Stand Alone.

Yep. And Mother Nature compounds the problem by giving us an instinctual craving for salt and sweet. In paleo times, sweet would be a rare treat, including late summer fruit — just in time to trigger insulin and the laying-down of precious fat for winter. Along came modern agriculture and food manufacturers making salty, sweet treats available year ‘round at prices less than fresh, whole foods.

I'll be the first one to agree that homosexuality is an unhealthy lifestyle, but the connection with fatty liver disease is a very weak one.

Fatty liver disease is almost 100% diet-related.

Go with any diet that greatly reduces added sugar and processed junk foods and you are on your way to reversing it and preventing it going forward.
