You won't hear these stats on the mainstream media and science reports, you have to dig down deep, to the sources which MUST report the truth to those who rely on it for their lives. The public-relations face of it is a lie.
The very medications they take to stave off an out-of-control infection cause their own long term deleterious health effects. Brittle bones, kidney and liver failure, and many cancers are a common side effect of these meds, even with HIV infections fully suppressed.
Then there is the neurological damage. HIV apparently still lives in the brain and nerve tissue even in suppressed patients, causing slow but inexorable damage. HIV dementia is a closely guarded secret.
"Just as long lived," my azz.
Dam. Proof sphyilis does eat your brains!
Iceland is a very progressive country, forcing same-sex marriage on the populace in 2010, about the time these syphilis rates started increasing.
Again, wasnt granting marriage supposed to curb the behavior which resulted in STD explosions?
The worst part is that we might be seeing more antibiotic resistance / immunity from syphilis in coming years.
