Middle-aged people with HIV and no hepatitis co-infection have a twofold increase in the risk of liver fibrosis
AIDSMap ^ | 26 January 2021 | Michael Carter

Having HIV almost doubles the risk of liver fibrosis, according to European research published in the online edition of the Journal of Infectious Diseases. Investigators in Denmark and the Netherlands compared rates of liver fibrosis between people living with HIV and people without HIV. Importantly, none of the participants had hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV). All were aged between 50 and 70 years and liver fibrosis was present in 12% of people with HIV and 7% of HIV-negative comparison group. Risk factors for fibrosis among people with HIV included increasing age, higher body mass index (BMI), disturbed liver function and treatment with didanosine, an obsolete anti-HIV drug.

unless they can show virus messing directly with hepatocytes then the finger of blame should be directed at the current aids antiviral drugs.

Yep. You’re a homophobe if you ask your sex partner if they have a potentially deadly disease.

Well, this research is homophobic and probably also evidence of White Supreemism. Any suggestion that man on man butseks is anything other than the highest expression of “our values” is pure theocratic and racist fascism. Sarcasm.

70 is middle aged if you plan on living to be 140

Joe’s making that national policy. It’s insane. It shows total disregard for members of the gay community under some misguided idea that decriminalizing knowingly spreading HIV without informing you partner some how “destigmatizes” HIV+. This is a perverse fetish of those in the POZ community who feel it’s their right to infect others.

Make sure “The Villages” in Florida are aware of the next influx.

“For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

Irony: HIV was 99% fatal and no one had mandatory testing and ID cards as we’re told we need for a 99% survivable COVID.

I read people with HIV age 15 years, which I think means they get illnesses people 15 years older get. I also assume they die 15 years early.
