… HIV was still associated with an 80% increase in dementia diagnosis overall compared with HIV-negative people.
Age 54 seems very early in years to have dementia. My wife and I are in our early 80’s and none of our male friends and relatives over 65 have dementia. We might forget where our car keys are. Dementia ain’t there yet.
This is the elephant in the room we’re not allowed to notice or mention. Nearly EVERY man who contracts HIV contracts it sexually from other men. It is primarily a man-to-man disease vector. Women are essentially transmission dead ends, ignoring prenatal transmission to their offspring, which is relatively rare. Women rarely transmit it to men, and men rarely transmit it to women through vaginal sex. Don’t believe that smokescreen constructed to make it a man-to-woman risk. The women who contract it do so through IV drug use or the deviant forms of sex that homosexual men engage in.
I am 82 Y.O. and have made a rule not to leave my glasses or coffee cup at random places in house. Yes, that requires few extra step, but I save many more steps later to find the lost item.
